Etty Hillesum - Matthew 5: 22-26 Les écrits d'Etty Hillesum. Journaux et lettres 1941-1943 (The writings of Etty Hillesum. Diaries and letters 1941-1943. Complete edition). Paris: Seuil, 2008, 1081 p. 22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, 'You fool,' you will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
Friday] September 25 [1942] 11 o'clock in the evening. A fleet of galleons loaded with silver sank one day in the ocean. Since then, mankind has never stopped trying to recover the sunken treasures. Countless galleons have already sunk in my heart and I don't have too much of a life to try to bring some of the buried treasures to the surface. I still lack the right instrument. I will have to build it from scratch. p. 736 |
