Job 6:25 New English Translation (NET Bible)25 How painful are honest words!
But what does your reproof prove? Words and love

Are words color to the soul ... and gentleness a canvas?

Where love draws pictures of life ... for everyone to see

Scenes that turn hearts to tears ... in landscapes of compassion

Framed in part by selfishness ... and the rest by the Lord in me?

Displayed in sensitivity ... next to the ruins of this world

To bring hope everywhere ... the way that it should be

A living soul breathes love ... and it will always hunger

To give it all to the ones in need ... and this is true in deed

A soul choosing darkness ... is like an expanding “black hole”

That swallows paintings drawn in love ... for good to disappear

The tongue inflames life and death ... but silence never looses

For death can’t rule where love resides ... and Love is being free

Jan Wienen
