In harmony with divine prophecies, those who obeyed Jehovah’s direction ‘ received their souls as spoil, ’ whereas the prosperous wicked ones ignored the warning and perished. ​ — Jer.
(‏ ار ١ :‏ ١‏ )‏ وَذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ ،‏ تَعَجَّبَ مُتَسَائِلًا لِمَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي ٱزْدِهَارٍ فِيمَا ٱلْأَبْرَارُ فِي شَقَاءٍ .‏
