"O  caminho  do  homem  de  bem  é  cercado de
todos os lados  pelas  iniqüidades do  egoísmo
e tirania  dos homens maus.  Abençoados os que,
em  nome da caridade e  boa vontade,  conduzem
os  fracos pelo  vale das  sombras, pois ele é
o  guardião  de seu irmão e o  que encontra os
filhos perdidos. E eu vou  atacar com vingança
e fúria  os que tentarem  envenenar e destruir
meus irmãos. E quando minha vingança se abater
sobre  eles,  saberão  que  eu sou  o Senhor."
(Ezequiel, 25, 17)
