It is as if to say plainly, "They have been left at the mercy of their own sins for not adhering to the righteous path throughout their lives." Furthermore, if you strive with God at first light and earnestly beseech the Most High—those who stray into heresy believe they are illuminated by the truth and insist that the Holy Church emerge from the darkness of error into the dawn of understanding, enabling them to flourish in the light and cleanse their past sins through heartfelt prayer.

He will undoubtedly awaken you; He currently refrains from manifesting His protective power in your hardships as if you were inaudibly asleep for help due to your wrongdoing but will bring peace to the dwelling of your righteousness—He will remove the burdens of this life and grant you rest without delay. This happens because humans often misjudge temporary pleasures as divine blessings, and what they pursue with worry, they misleadingly assure others is of great worth. Consequently, they frequently offer their support in times of loss or entice their listeners with promises of even greater worldly rewards. Wildad also expresses this sentiment when he continues to speak.
