DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clement of Rome emphasizes the omnipresence and omniscience of God,
urging his listeners to fear Him and turn away from wicked deeds driven
by evil desires. He highlights the futility of trying to flee from God,
as He is everywhere and knows all things, making escape impossible.
Clement stresses the importance of seeking God's mercy to avoid future
judgments and the need to acknowledge God's presence in every aspect of
our lives.

Since then all things are seen and heard [by God], let us fear Him, and
forsake those wicked works which proceed from evil desires; so that,
through His mercy, we may be protected from the judgments to come. For
whither can any of us flee from His mighty hand?

Or what world will receive any of those who run away from Him? For the
Scripture says in a certain place, "Whither shall I go, and where shall
I be hid from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if
I go away even to the uttermost parts of the earth, there is Your right
hand; if I make my bed in the abyss, there is Your Spirit."

Whither, then, shall any one go, or where shall he escape from Him who
comprehends all things?
