818. Between punishment and forgiveness

```

Between punishment and forgiveness

What do I want?

I want both, if necessity demands.

If by punishing me, O Lord,

You can expedite my life's journey

Towards Your Golden Shore,

Then punish me by all means.

I want not Your Compassion-Forgiveness-Light. ```
