Do not speak evil,
Against each other;
Avoid the devil,
To judge your brother.
Never try to judge,
It judges the Law;
Which causes a grudge,
Develops a flaw.
If you judge the Law,
But not a doer;
Rather you will fall,
Not a pursuer.
Just one lawgiver,
Also, as a judge;
Who will deliver,
And without carnage.
For He can destroy,
As well as to save;
He will give you joy,
Or send to a grave.
Judge not your neighbor,
About his leisure,
Or of his labor,
Judge not to measure.
Come now you who say,
Where that we may go;
Whatever today,
Or as tomorrow.
Such as in a town,
Spending a year there;
Showing not a frown,
Smile as you share.
Yet you do not know,
What the day will bring;
If blessings will flow,
What your life will cling.
A mist that appears,
For a little time;
That is causing fears,
Rate rises in crime.
Boast is arrogance,
For you it is sin;
Bringing resurgence,
To deprave within.
