Publicly expose evil, and you
Remove their masks of appeal.

Remove also their "whitewash",
And see many other dead souls.

Smooth tongues are cunningly used
To manipulate the maladjusted with flatteries.

But wise ones escape the hollowness of fools,
And test their friends, knowing they can change.

More fingers than true friends,
Can be counted on one's hand.

In Christ's congregations,
Those subduing with bribery are dead souls.
Some removed the "constant feature" Holy Spirit.
And like sharp-eyed pickers, desperately sought
To remove from the "tree of life" the sons of God.

Behold, those who live like cattle,
Without knowing God     the pagans!

Behold, those jealous of the power of God,
Exchanging the truth for the lie     the apostates!
