Analysis of Do No Evil
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
All of you are of one mind,
Of one mind in unity;
Humbled while being kind,
Compassion with dignity.
Show not evil for evil,
Rather give them a blessing;
Vengeance works for the devil,
Causing the darkness to bring,
Whoever wants to love life,
Desires to see good days;
Are able to endure strife,
Knowing that their heart obeys.
Avert with speaking deceit,
Evil from your lips and tongue;
Do not ever try to cheat,
Nor let false witness be flung.
Block evil to turn away,
For seeking peace to pursue;
Straight and narrow not to stray,
To the Lord remaining true.
For His eyes sees the righteous,
As His ears will hear their prayers;
He will be serving justice,
Against anyone who dares.
