He came to him and said "Adam, Where are you?" instead of saying "What glory you have left and what dishonor you have arrived at?" After that, He asked him "Why did you sin?

There was no humility, there was no repentance, but indeed the opposite.”

God, I lay myself in your hands ... There is no God but God, I being a sinner. We are of God, and to God we return.”
