By the same token, Lee implies imminent ill health, dishonour, poverty and bitterness for the one who does not heart obey this verse.
You don't need to make a textual and literary analysis ("making a lot of chop-chop noise!") to see that this passage was not genuine Hembekides, but genuine Samuel Lee. It was usual that for conferences, Samuel Lee revised the messages and included his own passages, or they had to read a complete Samuel Lee message. The messengers on the stage were only his parrots. Of course, they also tried to imitate Samuel Lee. "Message training" consisted in writing and rewriting until the message had the same bad style and content as Samuel Lee's. And if that would not work or there was not enough time, they had to take his messages. This always happened at the European conferences which Samuel Lee attended. On the paper, you had 10 cifferent messengers, but in reality, they were all alike, "their master's voice."
You can read more stories of this kind here. Lee did not only Lee imply imminent ill health, dishonour, poverty and bitterness (and even death!) for those who would not obey (his interpretation of!) the bible verse, but also for those who would not obey him, the "commander."
