{17:28} How great is the mercy of the Lord, and his forgiveness, for those who convert to him!
{17:29} For not all things can be in men, because the son of man is not immortal, and because they are pleased by the emptiness of malice.
{17:30} What is brighter than the sun? Yet this will fail. Or what is more wicked than that which flesh and blood has invented? And this will be reproved.
{17:31} He beholds the power of the heights of heaven. And all men are earth and ashes.
