A Paraphrase on The Ten Commandments in Divine Poems | ||
1
The Decalogue.
[Happy shall that man become]
Happy shall that man become,Who this Law departs not from:
Blessings will descend on him,
From the Mount of Gerizim;
But from Ebal they shall hear
Curses, who rebellious are.
Death, for them, attending stands,
Who shall break these just Commands;
And to those who them obey,
God proposeth life for aye.
