"They that commit disorders in the land after it hath been well ordered, these indeed have outstepped the bounds that have been set in the Book."

"Should your words, O people, be at variance with your deeds, what then shall distinguish you from those who profess their faith in the Lord, their God, and yet, when He came down to them overshadowed with clouds, rejected Him and waxed proud before God, the Incomparable, the Omniscient? Shed not the blood of anyone, O people, neither judge ye anyone unjustly. Thus have ye been commanded by Him Who knoweth, Who is informed of all. They that commit disorders in the land after it hath been well ordered, these indeed have outstepped the bounds that have been set in the Book. Wretched shall be the abode of the transgressors!"

-Bahá'u'lláh, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, Tablet to Napoleon III, p. 77
