27 He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'
Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.
You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city.
Depart from me, you evildoers, That I may keep the commandments of my God.
Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elements, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
