I have been so busy lately
I've had no clue what to post.
Then it came to me in a flash--
I could post something I am working on.

From the Dead Sea Scrolls, Cave 4

4Q521

For the heavens and the earth shall listen to his Messiah, and all that is in them will not turn away from the holy precepts. Be encouraged, you who are seekinng the Lord in his service. Will you not, perhaps, encounter the Lord in it, all those who hope in their heart? For the Lord will observe the devout, and call the just by name, and upon the poor he will place his spirit, and the faithful He will renew in His strength. For he will honor the devout upon the throne of eternal royalty, freeing prisoners, giving sight to the blind, straightening out the twisted. Ever shall I cling to those who hope. In his mercy he will judge, and from no-one shall the fruit of good deeds be delayed, and the Lord will perform marvellous acts such as have not existed, just as he said, for he will heal the badly wounded and will make the dead live, he will proclaim good news to the meek and give lavishly to the needy, lead the exiled and enrich the hungry...
