Chapter XXII.—These exhortations are
confirmed by the Christian faith, which proclaims the misery of sinful conduct.
Now the faith which is in Christ
confirms all these [admonitions]. For He Himself by the Holy Ghost thus
addresses us: “Come, ye children, hearken unto Me; I will teach you
the fear of the Lord. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth to
see good days? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking
guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes
of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are [open] unto their
prayers. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord
heard him, and delivered him out of all his troubles.”96
“Many are the stripes
[appointed for] the wicked; but mercy shall compass those about who hope
in the Lord.”97
