Analysis of Instruction of Wisdom
Fret not on evildoers,
For they will fade like withered grass;
Envy, not wicked pursuers,
God will condemn for their trespass.
Trust in the Lord and to do good,
Befriend faithfulness in the land;
From where you dwell do as you should,
You shall be fed sown by His hand.
Delight yourself upon the Lord,
He gives desires of your heart;
When you remain in one accord,
While you worship to impart.
Commit your way unto the Lord,
Trust in Him and He will respond;
Never letting Him be ignored,
Your wildest dreams be beyond.
He will bring you your righteousness,
Lighting justice as the noonday;
An intense glory of brightness,
When you show you trust and obey.
Patiently wait before the Lord,
Rest and be still and fretting not;
Prosper being in one accord,
He will guide you for what you sought.
Avoid anger and forsake wrath,
It intends to only do evil;
Which darkness will cross your path,
That will lead you to the devil.
He will stop the evildoers,
Those who wait inherit the land;
While the wicked pursuers,
Will be swallowed in sinking sand.
