And a breath was moving over my face; the hair of my flesh became stiff: Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying: May a man be upright before God? or a man be clean before his Maker? Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels; How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust!

Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you. If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him? If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?
