from EARLY JUDAISM (editors Nickelsburg & Stone, FORTRESS PRESS, 2009)
Blessed is he who fears God and serves him.
And you, my children, learn to bring gifts to the Lord,
that you may enjoy life.
Blessed is he who judges a judgment justly
to the widow and orphan,
and helps everyone that is wronged,
clothing the naked with garments
and giving bread to the hungry.
Blessed is he who turns back
from the changeable path
and walks along the straight path.
Blessed is he who sows the seeds of righteouness,
for he shall reap sevenfold.
Blessed is he in whom is truth,
that he may speak truth to his neighbor.
Blessed is he in whose mouth is mercy and gentleness.
Blessed is he who understands the Lord's works
and glorifies the Lord God.
2 Enoch B 42:6-14
