Chapter 74
The Sovereign Judge
a
If people do not fear death
Why should you threaten them with death?
If people live in constant fear of death
And you can kill the evildoers
Who would dare to do it?
b
Let the sovereign God be the judge according to our sins
To take the place of God
Is like trying to cut for the master carpenter
If you try to cut for the master carpenter
You will end up cutting off your hand
