Jah's Scriptures - eLouise (HappyLand, 2021) by Black Sea Records published on 2021-08-16T14:38:46Z Labours spent on the unworthy, of reward the labourer balk; Like the parrot, teach the heron twenty words, he will not talk. Ah! a thousand thoughts of sorrow, and a hundred things of dread, By the fools unheeded, enter day by day the wise man's head. Be Jah's Scripture-learning wondrous, yet the cheat will be a cheat; Be her pasture ne'er so bitter, yet the cow's milk will taste sweet. Of the day's impending dangers, Sickness, Death, and Misery, One will be; the wise man, waking, ponders which that one will be. Good things come not out of bad things; wisely leave a longed-for ill. Nectar being mixed with poison serves no purpose but to kill. Be Jah's Scripture-learning wondrous, yet the cheat will be a cheat; Be her pasture ne'er so bitter, yet the cow's milk will taste sweet. Trust not water, trust not weapons; trust not clawed nor horned things; Neither give thy soul to women, nor thy life to Sons of Kings Be Jah's Scripture-learning wondrous, yet the cheat will be a cheat; Be her pasture ne'er so bitter, yet the cow's milk will taste sweet.
