To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth: He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon. Or he is chastised with pain, upon his bed, and, the strife of his bones, is unceasing! So that his life maketh loathsome his food, and his soul, dainty meat; His flesh wasteth away out of sight, and bared are the bones once unseen; So doth his soul draw near to the pit, and his life to the inflicters of death: If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpret - one of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness, Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption! His flesh hath been made fresher than a child's, he hath returned to the days of his youth; He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness. He sang before men, and said, I sinned, and, uprightness, I perverted, yet he requited me not; He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit, - and, my life, in the light, shall have vision. Lo! a these things, doth GOD work, two ways, three, with a man; To bring back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.

For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, - that there were not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born: On the contrary - the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty, And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, - and the things that are not, - that, the things that are, he might bring to nought; read more.
