For the Lord, being a discerner of hearts and foreknowing all things, perceived the weakness of men and the manifold wiles of the devil, how that he will be doing some mischief to the servants of God, and will deal wickedly with them.

But if he sin off-hand and repent, repentance is unprofitable for such a man; for he shall live with difficulty." (HER)
