The Lord then said: “Take up your weapon and try again, eager as you are to conquer Me.” Challenged in these words, the demon aimed his mace at the Lord and once more loudly roared.

The Lord said, “You desire to win. Take up your weapon and fight with enthusiasm.” Addressed thus, the demon again attempted to strike the Lord with his club, making a loud noise.
