“When any unbeliever puts his foot upon it,
The abyss of hell shall be his habitation.”
The believer also shall, according to his knowledge and his actions, sooner or later pass over it; a weak faith shall not easily cross it.
“But he shall find salvation at the end of the business,
Although he may see many difficulties.”
There are fifty stations in the space on which the obedient and the rebels shall stop: upon each station another question is asked:
“He who gives a right answer
Crosses each station with rapidity.
But if not, in each, from a distressing condition,
He suffers pain and grief during one thousand years.”
