IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

2  BECAUSE THERE CAME TO HIM A BLIND MAN INTERRUPTING

3  BUT WHAT COULD CAUSE YOUR KNOWING
THAT HE MIGHT GROW IN SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING?

4  OR THAT HE MIGHT RECEIVE WARNING
AND MIGHT PROFIT FROM THE SPIRITUAL TEACHING?

5  BUT AS TO ONE WHO REGARDS HIMSELF AS SELF-SUFFICIENT

6  TO HIM YOU WOULD BE AN ATTENDANT

7  IT IS NO BLAME ON YOU IF HE GROW NOT IN UNDERSTANDING

8  BUT AS TO HIM WHO CAME TO YOU EARNESTLY STRIVING 

9  AND WITH HIS HEART FEARING

10  OF HIM YOU WERE UNATTENDING

11  BY NO MEANS SHOULD IT BE 
FOR IT IS A MESSAGE OF INSTRUCTION INDEED

12  THEREFORE WHOSOEVER WILL LET HIM REMEMBER

13  IT IS IN BOOKS HELD GREATLY IN HONOR

24  LET MAN LOOK AT HIS FOOD AND HOW WE PROVIDED IT FOR HIM

25  FOR THAT WE POUR FORTH WATER IN ABUNDANCE

26  AND WE SPOT THE EARTH IN FRAGMENTS

27  AND PRODUCE CORN THEREIN

28  AND NUTRITIOUS PLANTS AND GRAPES

29  AND OLIVES AND DATES

30  AND ENCLOSED GARDENS OF PERPETUITY
DENSE WITH LOFTY TREES

31  AND FRUITS AND VEGETATION

32  FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR CATTLE'S PROVISIONS

33  AT LENGTH WHEN THERE COMES THE NOISE DEAFENING THE EAR

34  THAT DAY WILL A MAN FLEE FROM HIS OWN BROTHER

35  AND FROM HIS MOTHER AND HIS FATHER

36  AND HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN THAT HE FATHERED

37  EVERY MAN THAT DAY WILL HAVE ENOUGH BOTHERS
TO MAKE HIM CARELESS OF OTHERS

38  SOME FACES THAT DAY WILL BE BEAMING

39  LAUGHING AND REJOICING

40  AND OTHER FACES THAT DAY WILL HAVE DUST ON THEM

41  DARKNESS WILL COVER THEM

42  THOSE WILL BE
THE REJECTERS OF GOD, THE DOERS OF INIQUITY
