Shifty people are disgusting,
But the Lord delights in the ways;
The innocent that blocks lusting,
Resisting what another strays.
Evil people will not avoid,
Be getting punished by the Lord;
The pleasures that they have enjoyed,
Certainly God has not ignored.
Offspring of the righteous people,
Will be escaping from all harm;
What is promised in the Gospel,
They are sheltered by His strong arm.
Like a gold ring stuck through the nose,
So is a girl that lacks good taste;
Sin will never smell like a rose,
Like a virgin who does not chaste.
Righteous desire ends in good,
But wicked hope ends in fury;
For never doing as they should,
As in a rush and a hurry.
One person is spending freely,
Another holds back what he owes;
Grows poorer though he is greedy,
From the rate that interest flows.
Generous people grows their wealth,
Spreading to others are satisfied;
God blesses with spiritual health,
Showing that He is gratified.
The liberal soul shall be fat,
And curses the conservative;
The slaughter house their habitat,
Since they have been so corruptive.
Whoever eagerly seeks good,
Constantly searches for good will;
For the blessings of the Lord would
Shall be admired to instill.
If the righteous are rewarded,
What of the wicked and sinner;
All of the treasure they hoarded,
God will be their discipliner.
