{5:1} Do not choose to seek iniquitous possessions, and you should not say: “I have all I need in life.” For it will be of no benefit to you in the time of retribution and darkness.
{5:2} You should not pursue, in your strength, the desires of your heart.
{5:3} And you should not say: “How powerful am I?” or, “Who will cast me down because of my deeds?” For God will vindicate with vengeance.
{5:4} You should not say, “I sinned, and what grief has befallen me?” For the Most High is a patient recompensor.
{5:5} Do not be willing to be without fear concerning a forgiven sin, and you should not add sin upon sin.
{5:6} And you should not say: “The compassion of the Lord is great; he will take pity on the multitude of my sins.”
{5:7} For both mercy and wrath go forth quickly from him, and his wrath sets its gaze upon sinners.
{5:8} You should not delay being converted to the Lord, and you should not set it aside from day to day.
{5:9} For his wrath will approach suddenly, and in the time of vindication, he will destroy you.
