Chapter XXVIII.&#8212;God Sees All Things:&#160; Therefore Let Us Avoid Transgression.

Since then all things are seen and heard [by God], let us fear Him, and forsake those wicked works which proceed from evil desires; so that, through His mercy, we may be protected from the judgments to come.&#160; For whither can any of us flee from His mighty hand?&#160; Or what world will receive any of those who run away from Him?&#160; For the Scripture saith in a certain place, &#8220;Whither shall I go, and where shall I be hid from Thy presence?&#160; If I ascend into heaven, Thou art there; if I go away even to the uttermost parts of the earth, there is Thy right hand; if I make my bed in the abyss, there is Thy Spirit.&#8221; &#160; Whither, then, shall anyone go, or where shall he escape from Him who comprehends all things?
