dn5:16.0 4.5. The Ten Respects
dn5:16.1 Next, before the sacrifice, the brahmin high priest dispelled the king’s regret regarding the recipients in ten respects:
dn5:16.2 ‘There will come to the sacrifice those who kill living creatures and those who refrain from killing living creatures.
dn5:16.3 As to those who kill living creatures, the outcome of that is theirs alone.
dn5:16.4 But as to those who refrain from killing living creatures, it is for their sakes that the king should sacrifice, relinquish, rejoice, and gain confidence in his heart.
dn5:16.5 There will come to the sacrifice those who steal …
dn5:16.6 commit sexual misconduct …
dn5:16.7 lie …
dn5:16.8 use backbiting …
dn5:16.9 use harsh speech …
dn5:16.10 talk nonsense …
dn5:16.11 are covetous …
dn5:16.12 have ill will …
dn5:16.13 have wrong view and those who have right view.
dn5:16.14 As to those who have wrong view, the outcome of that is theirs alone.
dn5:16.15 But as to those who have right view, it is for their sakes that the king should sacrifice, relinquish, rejoice, and gain confidence in his heart.’
dn5:16.16 These are the ten respects in which the high priest dispelled the king’s regret regarding the recipients before the sacrifice.
