For — a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.
Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,
Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.
A provocation to his father [is] a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
And the ransomed of Jehovah return, And have entered Zion with singing. And joy age-during on their head, Joy and gladness they attain, And fled away have sorrow and sighing!
‘Happy the mourning — because they shall be comforted.
for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,
and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.’
