My Neighbours
"My balance hitched to a beam will weigh the good and evil of my children, and if good is heavier than evil, I shall lighten your countenance and clothe you with the robes of angels."
"Awake the dead" He bade the Trumpeter, and "Lift the lids off the burying-places" He bade the labourers. In their generations were they called; "for," said the Lord, "good and evil are customs of a period and when the period is passed and the next is come, good may be evil and evil may be good."
Now God did not put His entire trust in Satan, and in the evening of the day He set to prove him: "It is over."
"My Lord, so be it," answered Satan.
"How now?" asked God.
"The scale of wickedness sways like a kite in the wind," cried Satan. "Give me my robes and I will transgress against you no more.”
"In the Book of Heaven and Hell,"
