1 Since therefore all things are seen and heard, let us fear Him and forsake the abominable lusts of evil works, that we maybe shielded by His mercy from the coming judgments.

2 For where can any of us escape from His strong hand? And what world will receive any of them that desert from His service?

3 For the holy writing saith in a certain place Where shall I go, and where shall I be hidden from Thy face? If I ascend into the heaven, Thou art there; if I depart into the farthest parts of the earth, there is Thy right hand; if I make my bed in the depths, there is Thy Spirit.

4 Whither then shall one depart, or where shall one flee, from Him that embraceth the universe?
