"O concourse of kings and of the sons of kings! Lay aside, one and all, your dominion which belongeth unto God... Vain indeed is your dominion, for God hath set aside earthly possessions for such as have denied Him... O concourse of kings! Deliver with truth and in all haste the verses sent down by Us to the peoples of Turkey and of India, and beyond them, with power and with truth, to lands in both the East and the West... By God! If ye do well, to your own behoof will ye do well; and if ye deny God and His signs, We, in very truth, having God, can well dispense with all creatures and all earthly dominion." (27:2) And again: "Fear ye God, O concourse of kings, lest ye remain afar from Him Who is His Remembrance (the Bab), after the Truth hath come unto you with a Book and signs from God, as spoken through the wondrous tongue of Him Who is His Remembrance. Seek ye grace from God, for God hath ordained for you, after ye have believed in Him, a Garden the vastness of which is as the vastness of the whole of Paradise."
(27:3)
