In this vast world which has changed countless times even since before history, there is no one to lead and guide man, no one but He who rules over all. No mighty lord labors and prepares for the sake of this mankind's needs. None can lead them into bright future, nor free them from injustice of this world. God laments the future of humankind. How He grieves at the fall of them! See His sorrow as they fail to learn that they march the road of no return. Man has rebelled, broken the heart of God; Satan's evil path they've gladly trod. And no one has stopped to clearly see where mankind will eventually go.

Who then stops and senses God's anger? Who seeks to please and get close to Him? Where's the one who glimpses God's sorrow or tries to grasp the pain He feels? Even when they've heard His calling voice, they press down on the path that leads away from God's mercy, truth, and watchful gaze; willingly, they sell themselves to Satan. God laments the future of humankind. How He grieves at the fall of them! See His sorrow as they fail to learn that they march the road of no return. Man has rebelled, broken the heart of God; Satan's evil path they've gladly trod. And no one has stopped to clearly see where mankind will eventually go.

How then will God act towards the one who stands defiant and dismisses Him? Know that God's calls and urgings are followed by disaster grim and hard to bear. It punishes not just man's flesh but his soul. No one can tell what wrath God has stored for all who fight His plan, ignore His voice; wrath that man has never felt or heard. This is a calamity unique; God's planned one creation and salvation. This is the first time, and the last. No one can feel with his heart, God's anguished love and fervent desire to save mankind. God laments the future of humankind. How He grieves at the fall of them! See His sorrow as they fail to learn that they march the road of no return. Man has rebelled, broken the heart of God; Satan's evil path they've gladly trod. And no one has stopped to clearly see where mankind will eventually go, where mankind will eventually go.
