About this work

Author: Unknown

2. And now, my children, I am dying

‹ Section 1 Section 3 ›

,

and

I

tell

you

of

a

truth

,

that

unless

ye

keep

yourselves

from

the

spirit

of

lying

and

of

anger

,

and

love

truth

and

long

-

suffering

,

ye

shall

perish

.

There

is

blindness

in

anger

,

my

children

,

and

no

wrathful

man

regardeth

any

person

with

truth

:

for

though

it

be

a

father

or

a

mother

,

he

behaveth

towards

them

as

enemies

;

though

it

be

a

brother

,

he

knoweth

him

not

;

though

it

be

a

prophet

of

the

Lord

,

he

disobeyeth

him

;

though

a

righteous

man

,

he

regardeth

him

not

;

a

friend

he

doth

not

acknowledge

.

For

the

spirit

of

anger

encompasseth

him

with

the

nets

of

deceit

,

and

blindeth

his

natural

eyes

,

and

through

lying

darkeneth

his

mind

,

and

giveth

him

a

sight

of

his

own

making

.

And

wherewith

encompasseth

he

his

eyes

?

In

hatred

of

heart

;

and

he

giveth

him

a

heart

of

his

own

against

his

brother

unto

envy

.
