« Tous les serviteurs du roi et la population des provinces du roi savent que toute personne, homme ou femme, qui pénètre chez le roi, dans la cour intérieure, sans avoir été convoquée, une loi égale pour tous la rend passible de la peine de mort; celui-là seul à qui le roi tend son sceptre d’or a la vie sauve. Or, moi, je n’ai pas été invitée à venir chez le roi voilà trente jours. »

How much more so will he who fears the Lord (Exod. 9:20) give more love, awe, fear, and humility, will he worry because of his sins, and will he be concerned lest he increase his sins with the iniquity of erring in the statements [concerning] the knowledge of the holy God (Josh. 24:19) lest his soul offer itself in restitution (Isa. 53:10). His only recourse (Esther 4:11) and the territory of his inheritance (Deut. 32:9) is to strip himself, and to cut and offer [himself] as a complete sin offering. He will be morally strong to bind with a bond forbidding (Num. 30:3) that which he has not heard from his teachers. He makes even all his paths (Prov. 5:21) and the utterances of his lips (Ps. 21:3). For if he falls (Deut. 22:8), who will raise him up? (Gen. 49:9). The Lord alone will lead him, and there is no strange god with him (Deut. 31:12) who has apportioned to test in them and afflicted [them] because of their iniquities (Ps. 107.17).
