My meditation day and night,
May it be pleasant in Thy sight,
For Thou art all my soul’s delight.
JUDAH THE PIOUS, 12th cent.

THE VOICE OF WISDOM
THUS saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord who exercise loving kindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
JEREMIAH 9. 23–4.
HE that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see? He that instructeth the nations, shall not He correct, Even He that teacheth man knowledge?
