Poetry

---

Who is wise and understanding,
A wise person's knowledge endured;
Meets whatever is demanding,
Works with a meek wisdom assured.

But if having bitter jealousy,
Selfish ambition your heart;
Do not try to boast with envy,
Nor fictitious truth to impart.

This is not wisdom from above.
Rather earthly and demonic;
That has not a heavenly love,
Evil lurking as satanic.

Envy and selfish ambition,
As jealousy is causing strife;
Evil works through inhibition,
Brings confusion unto your life.

But the wisdom from above is pure.
Then peaceable and gentle;
Full of mercy that does assure,
Good fruits as not accidental.

A harvest comes from righteousness,
Those sown are the fruit yielding peace;
They will be reaping blessedness,
That the harvest will never cease.
