The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King James Bible: to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
DAN 9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and
from thy judgments:

spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all
the people of the land.
DAN 9:7 O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us

inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that
are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them,

mort et la donne au soldat qui l'apporte immediatement au bourreau.
Le bourreau a l'air effare.] Qui a pris ma bague? Il y avait une
bague e ma main droite. Qui a bu mon vin! Il y avait du vin dans
ma coupe. Elle etait pleine de vin. Quelqu'un l'a bu? Oh! je suis
sur qu'il va arriver un malheur e quelqu'un. [Le bourreau descend
dans la citerne.] Ah! pourquoi ai-je donne ma parole? Les rois ne
doivent jamais donner leur parole. S'ils ne la gardent pas, c'est
terrible. S'ils la gardent, c'est terrible aussi . . .
