But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”He said to her,“ Your sins are forgiven.”Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves,“ Who is this who even forgives sins?”He said to the woman,“ Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”
