Verse 31. (For the Lord arranges or permits all things by Divine Love and Wisdom in Providence out of pure love and mercy), He will not cease to help the soul in every possible way, nor will He permit it (if it desires good) to be destroyed by evil; nor will He be absent in its struggles, in which He Himself will take part, and thereby conjoin the soul with Himself, as He has declared in the Word that He becomes conjoined with those who strive after good.
