Rather does each follow the lusts of his evil heart by reviving that wicked and unholy rivalry, by which, indeed, \"death came into the world.\"<br/><i>— 1 CLEMENT 3:4</i></p><p><b>Ephrem the Syrian</b>: For just as the deeds of the wicked are their accusers before the righteous Judge, making them bend and bow down their heads silently in shame, so also their beautiful deeds plead cause for the good before the good One. For the deeds of all humankind are both silent and speak silently by their nature, yet they speak when one sees them.In that place there is no interrogation, for [God] is the judge of knowledge; nor is there any response, for when he sees it, he hears.

For our iniquities have multiplied, saying, our iniquities are before you, from whom you have turned away your face for a long time, so that you would not see them, nor strike us.
