53 And where there is no condemnation, the mercies of the Holy One of Israel hath claim upon them because of the atonement,
54 For they are delivered by the power of Him; For the atonement satisfieth the demands of His justice upon all those who hath not the law given to them, That they are delivered from that awful monster death and hell and the devil, And the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment;
55 And they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel.
56 But wo unto him that hath the law given! Yea, that hath all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them and that wasteth the days of his probation, For awful is his state!
57 O that cunning plan of the evil one!
58 O the vainness and the frailties and the foolishness of men!
59 When they are learned, they think they are wise and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, For they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves;
60 Wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not; Wherefore, they shall perish;
61 But to be learned is good, if it so be that they hearken unto the counsels of God.
62 But wo unto the rich, which are rich as to the things of the world!
63 For because that they are rich, they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures; Wherefore, their treasure is their god;
