That's your idea of justice? Hanging your own men? That's why you burn and massacre? It seem as though you are preparing to ravage an entire town. All these people you're leading to war... Do they know what awaits them? What did you tell them? That Kohlhaas was the victim of a great injustice? You're a merchant. You're business is prosperous. For you, life is easy. What effort did you make to obtain justice? Me, I see that your heart is corrupted. That you are leading all these people into a war that doesn't concern them. I see that the sword that you wield is not the sword of justice. That you are not a soldier of God. === War does not give us the right. Demanding tolls... Stealing... That is what the lord does. That is not what we do. === The Bible tells us to forgive our enemies. I pray to God... that He never grant us such forgiveness as we will give our dog of a lord.
