Moreover I shook my lap, and said: So may God shake every man that shall not accomplish this word, out of his house, and out of his labours. Thus may he be shaken out and become empty. And all the multitude said: Amen. And they praised God. And the people did according to what was said.
But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?
