“You’re veterans in dealing with these matters; certainly we’re of one mind on this. It’s impossible for God to do anything evil; no way can the Mighty One do wrong. He makes us pay for exactly what we’ve done—no more, no less. Our chickens always come home to roost. It’s impossible for God to do anything wicked, for the Mighty One to subvert justice. He’s the one who runs the earth! He cradles the whole world in his hand! If he decided to hold his breath, every man, woman, and child would die for lack of air.

If He should so determine, if He gather unto Himself His Ruach and His Neshamah,
“If He sets His Heart upon it, and gathers to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
If he should take back his spirit to himself, and gather to himself his breath,
If he should take back his spirit to himself, and gather to himself his breath,
“If He were to set His heart on it, and gather to Himself His Ruach and breath,
If He made it His aim to do so, if He recalled to Himself His spirit and His breath,
If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
If God (ad)dresseth his heart to him, he shall draw to himself his spirit and blast. (If God directed his heart towards people, and he drew back his spirit and his breath unto himself;)
If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
