God’s enemy wants all who dedicate their lives to Jehovah to fail in their devotion and loyalty. Let us return to the example of the slave who accepted having his ear pierced.
فَعَدُوُّ ٱللهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَفْشَلَ جَمِيعُ مَنْ نَذَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِيَهْوَهَ فِي إِيفَاءِ نَذْرِهِمْ وَٱلْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى وَلَائِهِمْ .‏
