6 Another thing also: There is a city builded and set in a plain country, and full of all good things;
7 but the entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, having a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:
8 and there is one only path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man go there at once.
9 If this city now be given to a man for an inheritance, if the heir pass not the danger before him, how shall he receive his inheritance?
10 And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he to me, Even so also is Israel’s portion.
11 Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.
12 Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, and sorrowful and toilsome: they are but few and evil, full of perils, and charged with great toils.
