“…I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES…”

“He made a covenant with thine eyes{as you look at His Words}
Not to murder.

Is it not ruin for the wicked,
Disaster for those who do wrong?

Does he not see thy ways
And count your every steps?

If ye have walked in falsehood
Or your foots has hurried after deceit-

Let God weigh thee in honest scales
For He will know if ye are obeying -

If your steps have walked the right path,
If thine hearts has been led by His truth,
Or if thy hands did Him favour.

Then may thou eat what ye have sown,

For the harvests of disobedient hath arrived,

For that it will be shameful,
A sin to be judged.

It WILL BE a fire that burns to Destruction �
It will uprooted their harvest.

If ye have denied justice to His menservants
And maidservants,

And His childrens,
When they had a grievance against thee,

What will ye do when God confronts thee?
What will be your answer if God

Hold ye account?

Did not he who made me in the womb make them?
Did not the same One form us both within our mothers?

If ye have denied the desires of the poor,
Or let the eyes of the Innocents grow weary,

What will be your right?

Ye have kept your Joy to yourself,
Not sharing it with the fatherless-

Thou have seen the poors perishing for lack of clothing,
And �needy child without a garment,

And thine heart did not bless her,
Or warming him with the fleece from thine sheep,

If ye have raised your hands and your voice
Against the fatherless,

Know that I hath influence in court,

Ye let my tears fall from my eyes,
Let my heart broken off.

For ye ignored the instruction from God,
And not fear of His splendor.

That without Him,
Ye could not do such things.

If ye have put your trust in gold
Or said to pure gold,

‘You are my security,’

If ye have rejoiced over thine great wealth,
The fortune ye thinks thy hands had gained,

If ye have regarded the sun as your saviour,
Or the moon moving in your ways,
And stars as thine magic.

So that your hands secretly prosperous,
And thine lips offered them a kiss of homage,

Then these also would be sins to be judged,
For ye would have been unfaithful to God on high.

But no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
For His door was and still always open to the traveler-

If ye have concealed your secrets as others do,

Because ye so feared the crowds,
And so dreaded the contempt of the enemy,

That I kept silent and would not go outside.

(”Oh, that I had someone to hear me!
I sign now my defense�let the Almighty answer me,

Let my voices put in writing.

Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,
I would put it on like a crown.

I would give thee an account of my every step,
For your land cries out against me,

And all its furrows will wet with tears,
For the broken spirit of its tenants,

As briers will come up instead of wheat,
And weeds instead of barley.”

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

BUT FLESH{INNOCENT} WITH THE LIFE THEREOF,WHICH IS THE BLOOD THEREOF,SHALL YE NOT EAT{kill}.”

{Translation: “And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour{EAT} her child.”}
