4. Say not: I have sinned, and whet harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder.
5. Be not without fear about sin forgiven, and add not sin upon sin:
6. And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on the multitude of my sins.
7. For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners.
8. Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day.
9. For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee.
