9 1 Gentleness is the fruit of war. In the
hand of the righteous it is a mighty weapon
which darkness fears.
2 Gentleness is the bow of the Lord with
which He delivers guidance. He knows our
infirmities, and sees our blindness.
3 Gently the Lord molds His creations. He is
a refiner of man and delicate is His touch.
4 The Potter’s apprentices are often clumsy;
marring the vessels. Great is the wrath of the
Potter at the intentional destruction of his
work, and the fool who does not receive his
instruction is chastised and cast out.
5 The first work of the apprentice is his own
vessel. As a man molds his own life, so he is
expected to show the same care of
workmanship in others.
