Another Quote

Be on your guard, my little children,
For men are wicked, bad, and wild.
As swine and cattle pass the day
And blind to sin, go on their way.
But God's strong hand soon lays then low,
And to the devil they will go.

Beware, and follow not their call,
But think of God who sees it all.
His judgment is no jest to you,
As Holy Scripture tells you, too.

Although a rogue may think indeed:
"For many days there is no need"-
May brush aside what God requires,
Treat with disdain parents desires.
Death may come soon, and he expires.

Therefore, my child and dear son,
Heed thou the words of Solomon.

-Martin Luther
