TRANSLATION OF THE SCHRIFTEN
247
Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother. Jeremiah ix, 4.
| U. |
| Dissension and wrangling are fellows |
| Which cause great wrath and anger. |
| Folks swear and scold, |
| Men are degraded, conscience dulled; |
| Therefore, thou shalt flee from quarrel and dissension. |
| Nor drag everything into court. |
| Further, if thou art angry, |
| Do nothing rash with mouth or hand. |
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Romans xii, 18.
| V. |
| Depend not upon the strength of men, |
| For the flesh is but a weak thing ; |
| Who seeks protection in it |
| Such a man will be accursed, |
| But who depends upon God |
| And submits himself wholly to Him, |
| Will be blessed here in time |
| And also in eternity hereafter. — Jerem. xvii, 5, 7. |
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Prov. xviii, 10.
| W. |
| To be truthful and act righteously |
| Is becoming to young and old. |
| Avoid hypocrisy and false appearance, |
| Let mouth and heart be together, |
| The devil is the father of lies; |
| Therefore flee from them as from an adder. |
| Truth will endure forever, |
| Lies will perish. |
