The Lamp As Justice

A lamp concealed with a vessel Placed on a lampstand So that those who enter may see with the light For there is nothing hidden will not become visible Nothing secret will not be known They will all come to light One wo has will be given The one who has not even what he has to have will be taken away Justice as a vessel stands outside So that people may see Unknown secrets will be known In justice it will stand One who give others Will be coated with blessing The one who does not give will be uncoated with blessing
