can you help God spread out the skies
as hard as a cast metal mirror?

For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,
as I am fully known.

Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror.
