(HER) 2 I say to him; "Sir, I hope that all when they hear these words will repent; for I am persuaded that each one, when he fully knows his own deeds and fears God, will repent."

[But as many," saith he, "as shall add to their sins and walk in the lusts of this world, shall condemn themselves to death.] (HER)
