Yet, when he errs, fell punishment awaits him, true.
If man, then, go astray, much more he’s worthy blame;
Most justly shall chastisement visit him with shame.90
The blood of misbelievers righteously is shed,
With sword and arrow, like wild ass on mountain fed.
Their wives and children fall a prey to victor’s hand;
In that they lack true wisdom, cursed of God they stand.
The reasonable creature fleeing reason’s Lord,
Renounces reason, brute becomes, calls for the sword.
