Bon’s Book of Praise

ESK.

1. These are the words of Bon: You, O Jehovih! Who can fashion You* with words, or show Thy immensity? Where stood Thy feet in the time of Creation or rested Thy hand!
2. You Present and Afar! You Who are older than time, O Jehovih! You Dealer in worlds; where can I write the wonder of Thy name!
3. O That I had a standing place to see You*! That I could come to an understanding with My Creator! To find wisdom for my song; a dialogue in the words of the Almighty!
4. Sing to Him, O Yavist, you farthest star, and your* boundless firmament! And Neopodis, you** brightest shining heavens, which He created. Give the boundary of Jehovih’s Person, O you universe!
5. You that made me! By Thy sweet breath overspread the world with life and song. How should I render You* praise; in Thy glory make my speech acceptable!
6. Who hath considered the All Light, or found the Cause of the brightness of the sun, Thy great symbol? Or the power of Thy hand that stood him in the midst of heaven?
7. Or know the times of Thy labor and the birth of your*** worlds? Or count”’ the stars You hast created! Yea, or know the history of the least of all of them?

4. But You turnedst mine eyes inward, and I saw the wisdom of the serpent and the beast; and the thoughts and desires of their understanding, how perfectly You hast made them.
5. I saw the love You gavest each unto its own kind; yea, even the serpent gathered up her young, because of her love, to shield them from harm.
6. O that I could find the first Cause of the judgment of every living thing! To come close to the Almighty; to question Him!
7. You Who shapedst a moiety of earth, and said: Be you a bird, with feathers! Fly and sing! And it went forth, upward in the air of heaven, rejoicing in Thy name, Jehovih!

3. In the times of My seasons the soul of the dead should stand by the living; and testify to the endless creations which I provided, to perish not, forever! As a cord that lift”’ a weight, so should be the soul of the dead to those that are stricken in sorrow.
4. And I will uncover My heavens unto those; and My angels should come down from My exalted kingdoms by the light of the line of their love; and they should rejoice in the way of My dominions, and glorify Me and My works.
5. Thrice, at the times of the setting sun, should you* assemble and sing for the soul of the dead, remembering his virtues in great praise. Then should you* deliver his spirit unto My asaphs for the mansion I have built. And I will render unto him the delights of My kingdoms according to the light of his understanding.
6. And you**** should put away all mourning and all signs of mourning; and learn to understand the way of My resurrection. Rebuke Me not, O My beloved, by draping yourselves in black cloth and veils of crape. What I have done, I have done.
7. For the time should come unto My beloved when they should look back and say: It was well! And in the time of Jehovih it happened well, when it so happened! Though we saw not then, we now behold, as Gods and Goddesses, the way of the Almighty!
8. To sing and to rejoice in Me, O My beloved; and to attain to great knowledge; these are the roads I created, shining, diversified and broader than the imagination of man. By death provide I the resurrection of the souls of the dead. Mourn not for My proceedings, O My beloved! But be you**** wise and rejoice with discretion in the glory of My creations.

SPE.

1. Then answered Jehovih to those that had an infant born:
2. What I have quickened into life, behold, it is My gift. It is a flower of sunshine molded by a touch of My hand. Provide you**** unto it, O My beloved. Fence My garden around, that serpents can not enter. The time should come when this living soul should be as a God in My heavens. His light should be brighter than a sun!
3. Then spake Jehovih to the infant: Light of My light, O My Son! To you* I give the earth and the heavens, to be your** forever! And the waters of the earth and the air of the firmament, to be your** forever! And the forests and mountains and valleys, to be thy paradise forever. And the oceans and seas, to be your** forever. And lastly, O My Son, what I gave to no other animal on earth or in the waters thereof, or in the air of heaven, give I unto you; behold, I give thyself to you.
4. And I give you* guardian angels to walk by you* and show thee My great delights and the way of My resurrections! They should speak to your* soul to keep you* in the right way. Hear you them and follow in the way of your* Creator, and you should rejoice all the days of thy life.
5. But your* corporeal eyes and ears and your* corporeal judgment give I unto your** own hands. Remember, My Son, learn you corporeal knowledge through your*** soul, for it is of Me, and you should not err. But shut out the way of My voice, and follow thy corporeal senses only, and you should go down in darkness for a long season.
6. Remember your*** Creator at all times and seasons, and you should rejoice because you art this day brought forth an heir of everlasting life.
7. Then spake Jehovih to the ashars, the guardian angels: Into your keeping, O My beloved, give I this My Son, quickened by My very breath to live forever. In your regular turns, watch and watch, guard him from this time forth, for he is the fruit I bequeath unto you. And in due time you**** should render his soul unto My asaphs in heaven, being glorified therein.
8. Nor should you* ever make yourselves known to him through his corporeal senses; for your labor is with the spirit. But when you* find it rightful that angels should approach his corporeal understanding, see to it that they be exalted and in the way of My everlasting kingdoms. For the plan of My creations is for the resurrection of the soul of man to be forever and ever!

YAD.

1. Praise be unto You*, Jehovih! Who can search out the completeness of Thy creation?
2. Or know the magnitude of Thy places, You Almighty! And your*** endless inventions?
3. You should be My theme forever, to find the far-seeing devices of my Creator, the work of my soul.
4. I was alone in the world. Angels and men fed not my soul; I was hungered and in gloom.
5. Then I turned to You*, You Almighty. And You gavest me a new growth, a fruit of life in fire!
6. Which grew brighter and brighter. And my vision was recovered, and Thy heavens were opened as a book is opened.
7. And I drank of Thy waters, and ate of the tree of the resurrection to Thy everlasting kingdoms.
8. The secret of Thy Wisdom, O Jehovih, was uncovered; the way of Thy Mightiness made imperishable forever!

SON.

1. Because You gavest into mine own hand to exalt myself, O Jehovih! For perpetual resurrection shapedst mine every part before I knew the way of the Almighty! Praise be unto You* forever! Saith the Faithist!
2. Because You providedst from the ancient times for Thy Mighty word. From everlasting You hast provided prophets to know the way of the Omnipotent! To reveal the unseen heavens created by You*!
3. Because You hast kept alive the line of Thy Majesty in mortals! Built a house for Thy chosen, wide as the world! Faith in You* above all things in earth or heaven. Saith the Faithist!
4. When all the world beside fail”’, You, my Creator, standest before me Mighty and full of love. You One Alone, imperishable forever, and just and merciful. Praise be unto Thee, Jehovih, Who are greater than All!
