"And hath shut to the door "thereby shutting out the wicked, of course; and when these knock, He will answer, "I know you not whence ye are; "and when they recount how "they have eaten and drunk in His presence "He will further say to them, "Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
