17I will bring distress on men
         So that they will walk like the blind,
         Because they have sinned against the LORD;
         And their blood will be poured out like dust
         And their flesh like dung.

18Neither their silver nor their gold
         Will be able to deliver them
         On the day of the LORD’S wrath;
         And all the earth will be devoured
         In the fire of His jealousy,
         For He will make a complete end,
         Indeed a terrifying one,
         Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

"My Son, let not the fair and subtle sayings of men move thee. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.(1) Give ear to My words, for they kindle the heart and enlighten the mind, they bring contrition, and they supply manifold consolations. Never read thou the word that thou mayest appear more learned or wise; but study for the mortification of thy sins, for this will be far more profitable for thee than the knowledge of many difficult questions. 2.
