Personal Guidance
Entrails are pulled out by hounds and vultures while he is still alive to see. Serpents and scorpions bite. The torments are humiliatingly visible to the very person suffering them. Sin is exposed even to its own perpetrator.
Reflection Questions

- How might present honest self-examination spare a future watching-of-one's-own-undoing?
