84 And save they shall cast these things away and consider themselves fools before God and come down in the depths of humility, He will not open unto them;
85 But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever, Yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints.
86 O my beloved brethren, remember my words! Behold, I take off my garments and I shake them before you;
87 I pray the God of my salvation, that He view me with His all-searching eye;
88 Wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I shook your iniquities from my soul, And that I stand with brightness before Him and am rid of your blood.
89 O my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins! Shake off the chains of him that would bind you fast;
90 Come unto that God who is the Rock of your salvation;
91 Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment, that ye may not shrink with awful fear,
92 That ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness and be constrained to exclaim, "Holy, holy are Thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty!
93 But I know my guilt - I transgressed Thy law, and my transgressions are mine; And the devil hath obtained me, that I am a prey to his awful misery."
94 But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things?
