| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Koran: again and amend, leave them alone, verily, God is easily turned,
compassionate.
God is only bound to turn again towards those who do evil through
ignorance and then turn again. Surely, these will God turn again to,
for God is knowing, wise. His turning again is not for those who do

Kite and kestrel, wolf and wolfkin, from the wilderness, wallow in it,
Till the face of Bel be brighten'd, Taranis be propitiated.
