e. About God’s Justice in the Other Four Penalties

129. Now in the other four penalties, namely the sadnesses [n.100], justice sufficiently appears, because the consummation of the penalty requires sadness.There are four penalties of sadness, corresponding respectively to the two penalties of privation and the two of detention [nn.97-99]). ²⁶ But if about damned men after the judgment there is put, in place of the second detention [sc. the devils’ intense consideration of fire, nn.99, 103], burning in fire, and in place of the fourth sadness [sc. sadness about such intense consideration of fire, n.128] pain in sense appetite, then there is justice from the correspondence of this bitterness with the inordinate delight it had in sin.
