"On the resurrection day all secrets will be disclosed, Yea, every guilty one will be convicted by himself, Hand and foot will bear testimony openly Before the Almighty concerning their owner’s sins. Hand will say, ‘I stole such and such things,’ Lip will say, ‘I asked for such and such things,’ Foot will say, ‘I went after my own desires,’ Arm will say, ‘I embraced the harlot,’ Eye will say, ‘I looked after forbidden things,’ Ear will say, ‘I listened to evil talk.’ Thus the man will be shown to be a liar from head to foot Since his own members will prove him to be a liar."
