Apocrypha · Chapter 6 of 114
Visions and Mandates
But it is not only for this that God is angry with you, but also because you tolerate that your house commits such iniquity against the Lord and against its parents.
2Why did you not admonish them? You have affection for your children and did not correct them, but let them become terribly corrupt.
3Therefore the Lord is angry with you. But he will heal all the evils that were committed in your house.
4Because on account of their sins and iniquities, you were ruined in the affairs of the world.
