The Kingdom Of Righteousness

4 And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly. 5 A fool is no more called 'noble,' And to a miser it is not said, 'rich;' 6 For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.
