" The Cry of The Leaf "
Let the
elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in
the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that
treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. Against an
elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. Them that sin
rebuke before all, that others also may fear. I charge thee before God, and
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
1 Timothy 5:17-21
(KJV)
------------
And the LORD opened the mouth
of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten
me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would
there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. |

" IT IS WRITTEN "
And the ass
said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I
was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. Then
the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way,
and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three
times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me,
surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. And Balaam said unto the angel of
the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now
therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. And the angel of the LORD said
unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou
shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
