Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;
Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,
For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the commands of my God.
For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless -- without man, Surely also, wo to them, when I turn aside from them.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things? and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him.
and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude?
