Address to the People Before the Punishment:

That is, regret is felt for one who perishes due to forgetfulness or unintentionally, but how can there be regret for one who, despite being warned of the consequences, continues to act arrogantly and does not even care to listen to words of goodwill for his own benefit? He has knowingly thrown himself into destruction.
