'Therefore, brethren, brothers, sisters: stay true and near to the Lord.' (from the Bible) 'They are grieved when some Good comes to you; they rejoice when some ill befalls you in your pursuit of G!D' (from the Quran) 'I am sending you as lambs among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes, and as innocent as doves.' - the Son of Man, Jesus, son of Mary

Now go, write it on a tablet before them
|

And inscribe it on a scroll,
|

That it may serve in the time to come
|

As a witness forever.

For this is a rebellious people, false sons,
|
||
Sons who refuse to listen
|
||
To the instruction of the LORD;
|
||
|
||
Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”;
|
||
And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right,
|
||
Speak to us pleasant words,
|
||
Prophesy illusions.
|
||
|
||
“Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,
|
||
Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
|
||
|
||
Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
|
||
“Since you have rejected this word
|
||
And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,
|
||
|
||
Therefore this iniquity will be to you
|
||
Like a breach about to fall,
|
||
A bulge in a high wall,
|
||
Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,
|
||
|
||
Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter’s jar,
|
||
So ruthlessly shattered
|
||
That a sherd will not be found among its pieces
|
||
To take fire from a hearth
|
||
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
