The Lord Warns His Enemies
15 Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil, 16 He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock are his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast. 17 A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.
