The heavens are glad, the
earth rejoices,
the sea roars approval and
the field exults,
the wise shine like the
brightness of the sky,
like the stars, while they
lead to righteousness;
but we in pious conformity
are much annoyed
over so many teachings and
proclamations.
If you still have all this to
tell us, Jesus,
sorry--we just cannot bear it
now.
May God have mercy upon us!

Let

let the field exult, and everything
in it.

Those
who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead
many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

the people and proclaiming that in Jesus there is the resurrection of the dead.

still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. …"
