The pizzicato bass enters, Lazarus is begging for money and food. The rich man (along with other people) ignores him constantly. After this happens repeatedly, the rich man scolds him (as the soaring french horns enters with melody ) After the final discourse, the peasant dies (measure 75.) Abraham appears to him (measure 82) and tells him "Welcome home!" The rich man then dies and the dark angels then take him to him to Hell. He finds himself in agony and begs to Abraham for his family to be notified of his transgressions and for cool water from Lazarus. Abraham then proclaims ,"If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead." Luke 19, WEB.

Lazarus rejoices in being in Heaven, falling at the feet of the Lord Almighty, the God of Abraham.
