23 And he that saith, "Show unto me or ye shall be smitten" - let him beware lest he commandeth that which is forbidden of the Lord;
24 For behold, the same that judgeth rashly shall be judged rashly again; For according to his works shall his wages be; Therefore, he that smiteth shall be smitten again of the Lord.
25 Behold what the scriptures saith: "'Man shall not smite, neither shall he judge; For judgment is Mine, ' saith the Lord; 'And vengeance is Mine also, and I will repay.'"
26 And he that shall breathe out wrath and strifes against the work of the Lord and against the covenant people of the Lord, which are the house of Israel, And shall say, "We will destroy the work of the Lord and the Lord will not remember His covenant which He hath made unto the house of Israel" - The same is in danger to be hewn down and cast into the fire; For the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on until all His promises shall be fulfilled.
27 Search the prophecies of Isaiah; Behold, I cannot write them.
28 Yea, behold, I say unto you that those saints which have gone before me, which have possessed this land, shall cry - Yea, even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord - And as the Lord liveth, He will remember the covenant which He hath made with them.
29 And He knoweth their prayers, that they were in behalf of their brethren;
30 And He knoweth their faith - For in His name could they remove mountains, And in His name could they cause the earth to shake, And by the power of His word did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth,
31 Yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them - neither wild beasts, nor poison serpents - because of the power of His word.
32 And behold, their prayers were also in behalf of him that the Lord should suffer to bring these things forth;
33 And no one need say, "They shall not come" - For they surely shall, for the Lord hath spoken it! For out of the earth shall they come by the hand of the Lord, And none can stay it.
