Now this is the general rule that, when the ground has received seed, or the sea a ship, or any dish food or drink, and when it comes about that what was sown or what was launched or what was put in is destroyed,
35
they are destroyed, but the things that held them remain; yet with us it has not been so.
36
For we who have received the law and sinned will perish, as well as our hearts that received it;
37
the law, however, does not perish but survives in its glory."
38
When I said these things in my heart, I looked around, and on my right I saw a woman; she was mourning and weeping with a loud voice, and was deeply grieved at heart; her clothes were torn, and there were ashes on her head.
