scribed, and yet thou deemest
thyself to be a believer!

98 Despite what thou hast done I entertain--and to this God is My
witness--no ill will against thee, nor against anyone, though from thee and
others We receive such hurt as no believer in the unity of God can
sustain. My cause is in the hand of none except God, and My trust is in no
one else but Him. Erelong shall your days pass away, as shall pass away
the days of those who now, with flagrant pride, vaunt themselves over
their neighbour. Soon shall ye be gathered together in the presence of
God, and shall be asked of your doings, and shall be repaid for what your
hands have wrought, and wretched is the abode of the wicked doers!

99 By God! Wert thou to realize what thou hast done, thou wouldst surely
weep sore over thyself, and wouldst flee for refuge to God, and wouldst
pine away and mourn all the days of thy life, till God will have forgiven
thee, for He, verily, is the Most Generous, the All-Bountiful. Thou wilt,

the Help in Peril, the All-Glorious: "And when they had forgotten their
warnings, We set open to them the gates of all things," even as We did set
open to thee and to thy like the gates of this earth and the ornaments
thereof. Wait thou, therefore, for what hath been promised in the latter
part of this holy verse,(104) for this is a promise from Him Who is the
Almighty, the All-Wise--a promise that will not prove untrue.

100 I know not the path ye have chosen and which ye tread, O congregation
of My ill-wishers! We summon you to God, We remind you of His Day, We
announce unto you tidings of your reunion with Him, We draw you nigh unto
His court, and send down upon you tokens of His wondrous wisdom, and yet
lo, behold how ye reject Us, how ye condem
