29Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in Egypt, from whence they were delivered:
30And received the law of life, which they kept not, which ye also have transgressed after them.
31Then was the land, even the land of Sion, parted among you by lot: but your fathers, and ye yourselves, have done unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Highest commanded you.
32And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that he had given you.
33And now are ye here, and your brethren among you.
34Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death ye shall obtain mercy.
