Stop this!
Stop!
Are you all right?
[GRUNTING]
Thank you.
Beloved, this day I am weighed down with much more desire
and anxiety for the welfare of your souls
than I have hitherto been.
It grieveth my soul and causeth me to shrink with shame
before the presence of my Maker, that I
must testify unto you concerning the wickedness of your hearts.
And also it grieveth me that I must
use so much boldness of speech concerning you,
before your wives and your children,
many of whose feelings are exceedingly tender and chaste
and delicate before God, which thing is pleasing unto God.
Wherefore, it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained,
because of the strict commandment which
I have received from God, to admonish you according
to your crimes, to enlarge the wounds of those who are already
wounded, instead of consoling and healing their wounds.
But I must do according to the strict commands of God,
and tell you concerning your wickedness and abominations.
And this is the word which I declare: many of you
have begun to search for gold, and for silver,
and for all manner of precious ores, in the which
this land doth abound most plentifully.
And because some of you have obtained more abundantly
than that of your brethren ye are
lifted up in the pride of your hearts,
and wear stiff necks and high heads because of the costliness
of your apparel, and persecute your brethren
because ye suppose that ye are better than they.
Do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing?
Nay.
He condemneth you, and if ye persist in these things
his judgments must speedily come unto you.
O that ye would listen unto the word of his commands,
and let not this pride of your hearts destroy your souls!
Think of your brethren like unto yourselves,
and be free with your substance, that they
may be rich like unto you.
But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God.
And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain
riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent
to do good--to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry,
and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick
and the afflicted.
The one being is as precious in his sight as the other.
