And he shall cut down the Thickets of the Forest with Iron.

Chapter IV.

How the Judge of Heaven and Earth, who judges righteous judgement, passes sentence against all those great ones who - like oaks and tall cedars - will not bow. And how he intends to blow them up by the roots.

Thus saith the Lord:

all you tall cedars
and sturdy oaks
who bow not down
who bow not down

this sentence is gone out of my mouth against you

MENE MENE TEKEL

thou are weighed in the balances
and are found wanting

God as numbered thy kingdom
and finished it

and thou
and all that join with thee
or are

in the least degree

accessory to thy former
or like intended pranks
shall most terribly
and most strangely
be plagued

there is a little spark lies under

that huge heap of ashes

all thine honour
pomp
pride
wealth
and riches
which shall utterly consume
all that is uppermost
as it is written

the Lord
the Lord of Hosts
shall send among his fat ones
lameness
and under his glory
he shall kindle a burning
like the burning of a fire
and the light of Israel
shall be for a fire
and his holy one for a flame
and it shall burn and devour
his thorns and his briars
in one day

and shall consume
the glory of his forest
and of his fruitful field
both soul and body

i.e.
this shall be done
inwardly and outwardly
and shall be fulfilled
both in the history and mystery

and the rest of the trees of his forest
shall be few
that a child may write them

and the Lord
the Lord of Hosts
shall lop the bough with terror
and the high ones of stature
shall be hewn down
and the haughty
shall be humbled
and he shall cut down
the thickets of the forest
with iron
and Lebanon
shall fall by a mighty one
Isa. 10.

behold
behold
I have told you
take it to heart
else
you'll repent
every vein of your heart
for your own sakes
take heed
it's my last warning
for the cries of the poor
for the oppression of the needy
for the horrid insolency of proud men
who will dare to sit in my throne
and judge unroghteous judgement
who will dare to touch mine anointed
and do my prophets harm

for these things' sake

now

am I arisen
saith the Lord
in auxilium patris

Se riza el aire gris.

The field of olives opens and closes like a fan. Above the grove the sky is sunk the rain is dark the stars are cold. A trembling in the rushes and darkness falls on the riverbank. A ripple through the grey air. Olive trees laden with screams. A flock of captive birds move their long, long tails in the shadows. FGL (1931) PSY (Feb. 2025)

O Tat, it is not possible that man being an imperfect wight compounded of imperfect members.

The Fifteenth Book of Hermes Trismegistus. Of Truth to his Son Tat. 1. Hermes - Of truth, O Tat, it is not possible that man being an imperfect wight compounded of imperfect members, and having his tabernacle consisting of different and many bodies, should speak with any confidence. 2. But as far as it is possible, and just, I say, that truth is only in the eternal bodies, whose bodies be also true. 3. The fire is fire itself only, and nothing else; the earth is earth itself, and nothing else; the air is air itself, and nothing else; the water, water itself, and nothing else. 4. But our bodies consist of all these, for they have of the fire, they have of the earth, they have of the water and air, and yet there is neither fire, nor earth, nor water, nor air, nor anything true. 5. And if at the beginning, our constitution had not truth, how could men either see the truth or speak it or understand it only, except God would? 6. All things, therefore, upo...
