The Human Heart Iii (From The Holy Bible) Poem by Dr John Celes

The wise of heart know time and course of things,
And incline to right, but the fool's, to left;
Follow your heart's ways but God will judge you;
Banish anxiety from your heart and live.

Heart of fools is in the house of pleasure;
Bribe corrupts hearts, ill-gotten treasure;
Within your heart, you curse others a lot;
By mouth, they speak well but hearts, evil plot!

Human hearts are conceived in lies;
A deluded heart misleads the Lord;
Take God's commands to heart if you are wise;
Revive the contrite heart and keep near God.

‘Circumcise your hearts, you people, ' says Lord.
Accursed is man whose heart's away from God;
Extol the Lord with all your heart and see;
The Lord tests hearts and minds of every man.

The Lord detests all those with perverse hearts;
Though man plans in the heart, God sets the steps;
Like gold by furnace, Lord tests human hearts;
Let heart not rejoice when your foes stumble!

Seven abominations fill man's heart!
God has set eternity in the heart;
A sadder face is better for the heart;
Death is human destiny, take to heart.
