Postproverbial:

Translation:
The debt owed to God is unpayable
Comments:
The original proverb philosophically symbolizes the magnitude of the crime which is irreversible while the postproverbial practically points at human’s indebtedness and reliance on God. What men owe God is immeasurable and therefore unpayable.
