Of Isaiah, of Enoch, of Ezra, of Jeremiah and Ezekiel
Cast ye the mote from out thine own eye that ye see it not within thy brothers.
Look before ye leap or think thou before ye speak – lest it be the forces of evil that would, through thy words, to ye speak.
Ask not, want not – or be grateful for that which ye hath lest the winds of adversity bloweth away thy good.
Measure not thy good by that which hath thy neighbor, but by the seeds ye hath thyself planted, and whence cometh the time of the reaping, that thy store bins shall be filled to o’erflowing.
Want not, waste not or it had been told that an entire nation wouldst be fed from that which another nation discardeth. Take ye care that ye be not one of these wasters, or it may be that ye too, may become one of these other nation’s guests in a future lifetime, and that ye joineth those of the starving;
for so it is, as ye plant, so shall ye reap.
Let the fruits of thy grain be all that ye wisheth for, and that ye shalt hath aplenty to share, and let thy granaries be filled for the time whence thy harvest may be less than all that ye desireth.
And so it is with the fruits of thine own self, that they filleth not thy bushel baskets whence cometh the time of the picking lest it be that ye hath cared well of thy plantings, and of all the upcroppings from season to season, and that ye guardeth well thy crops and orchards lest the blackest of crows and varmints carry away thy fruits in the night.
And whence it is that ye findeth that thy neighbor hath to thee done a wrong, act ye quickly in the double measure to do unto him a good deed.
Then maketh thee likewise sure that thy cargo be of the freshest of fruits, for one spoiled apple will maketh of the others uneatable in time, and thy labors be in vain.
One good deed deserves another. What e’er it is that thy brother so giveth to thee in love, measure not this deed by its worth, but rather, by the joy that it has to thee so given; and prevent not thy brother’s joy to so express, but to him, showeth thy joy in receiving, causing his joy to be multiplied.
And cometh a new time and a new world, and the old shall passeth away. Man shall loveth his enemy, the lion lie down with the lamb. Those of thy parents and grandparents shall return to thee as thy children and thy children’s children – aye, on unto the time of Moses and beyond.
Thus treateth thy children with kind, loving care, lest it be they return to thee with like manners and deeds! Care likewise that all that ye teacheth thy children be of the wiseth teachments, for it is that which is given the plant to so nurture it, so doth it become. Yet even more is it with thy offspring . . . as ye feedeth unto his mind, so shall he so become.
