erful, and uttering continually verses
whose import the minds of the most learned and wisest of men are powerless
to fathom, should yet be the bearer of a message that is not of God? Be
discerning, then, and speak ye the truth, the very truth, if ye claim to
be honest and high-minded.

Say: The verses We have revealed are as numerous as those which, in the
preceding Revelation, were sent down upon the Bab. Let him that doubteth
the words which the Spirit of God hath spoken seek the court of Our
presence and hear Our divinely-revealed verses, and be an eye-witness of
