If ye pay no heed unto the counsels which, in peerless and
unequivocal language, We have revealed in this Tablet, Divine chastisement shall
assail you from every direction, and the sentence of His justice shall be
pronounced against you. On that day ye
shall have no power to resist Him, and shall recognize your own impotence. Have mercy on yourselves and on those beneath
you, and judge ye between them according to the precepts prescribed by God in
His most holy and exalted Tablet, a Tablet wherein He hath assigned to each and
every thing its settled measure, in which He hath given, with distinctness, an
explanation of all things, and which is in itself a monition unto them that
believe in Him.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Suriy-i-Mulk [Tablet to the Kings]; ‘Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
