Chapter 58
God said: In the name of Jehovih, greeting to you.
Hear the plea of God, Jehovih’s Son.
Like one who is whipped and beaten in a great contest, I cry out, because of the Almighty, Whom I serve.
What is the fault of Jehovih that you have turned away from Him?
Behold, I will plead for Him. Was His name not good enough? What name is greater than the word, Creator?
If you rejoice that you live, then are you not beholden to Him?
Why have you substituted other names? Who was to gain by that?
Certainly not Jehovih.
What excuse can you offer, for having names other than Jehovih’s made worshipful on earth and in heaven?
Mortals will ask these questions in time to come.
Did the Almighty, before your times, not find a way to reveal Himself and His commandments?
Why have you persecuted, abused and put to death mortals for worshipping Jehovih?
Behold, all four of you profess to be the Prince of Peace; but you carry concealed daggers, and you strike to death those who glorify the Creator.
I run after my children, as a father would, to snatch them away from a serpent; but you slaughter them before my eyes.
I weep for them.
In shame, I look upon the earth and its heavens, and I say to myself: O God, to whom these were given in charge, how incompetent you are against the flood of evil!
And I pray to Jehovih, that your hearts may be turned to pity. I see certain ruin and terrible hells ahead for all of you; and I cry out to Jehovih, to give me the means to save you.
I pray that I may even be unmolested in rescuing and saving the helpless and distressed, but you frustrate all my inventions.
I am weary with my labor, and with the great kingdoms given into my keeping.
Alas, I am shut off on all sides from doing good, and yet, that is all I desire to do.
Now I beseech you, O false Gods, make concessions to Jehovih.
Save yourself from certain destruction, and Jehovih’s Son from humiliation before the high-raised Gods of other worlds.
