4 1 Righteousness is in the life
of a man. It cannot be taught.
2 Often it is silent, but always swift. It
dies on the lips of a fool, yet sparked by
the humble actions of one righteousness
can spread as a fire in the hearts
and actions of men.
3 Righteousness is the power of love in
action. The righteous man finds peace
in the knowledge that he has done his best.
4 The cries of injustice and pain in
the children of men are as a battle
cry unto the heart of a righteous man.
5 It is not enough that the righteous man
neither see nor hear evil; for its very
existence is torment unto his soul.
6 A good man builds a righteous
home that he may have peace and joy.
The wise man builds a righteous
community that he will find friends and
allies, in the day that evil comes.
7 The first battle of the righteous man is
in the mastery of his own temple. The
foundation of righteousness is a man’s life.
8 The king must master his own home
before he builds a kingdom, and a
righteous man must first be master
of himself before he build a family.
9 Righteousness is a brilliant flame.
As moths to a candle, it mesmerizes
the children of the LORD. There is no
fear in the full light of GOD, and its
glory does call those out from darkness.
10 Righteousness carries the sword of
truth, driving evil into the light of the
world where it withers and passes.
11 The battle of righteousness is a
battle of death for many. But the light
that blinds you is the brilliance of God.
In it you shall receive your sight.
You shall hear. You shall finally live.
