Learn About the Wise

Righteous lips
are the delight of them,
and they love him
who speaks the truth.

The messengers of death,
it's their wrath,
and they hate all
who behave like fools.

The light of their heart,
it's their joy
and their favor is like cloud
of the latter rain.

The wisdom they have,
it's to depart from sin,
and who keeps it,
he remain a blind man
in the eyes of God.
