(Just something interesting I came across. Of Shaul or not, I find this encouraging to pursue Yahuah’s righteousness. Maybe you will too)
The word of Yahuah came to me, saying: Say to this people, Till when do you sin, and add to your sin, and provoke to anger the Alhym who made you, saying that you are children to Abraham, but doing the works of Satan, going on in speaking against Alhym, boasting only in your addressing of Alhym, but poor on account of the substance of sin? Know, ye sons of men, that the whole creation has been made subject to Alhym; but the human race alone, by sinning, provokes Alhym to anger. For often the great light, the sun, has come before Alhym, saying against men: Yahuah Almighty, how long do You endure all the sin of men? Command me, and I will burn them up. And there came a voice to him: My long-suffering endures them all, that they may repent; but if not, they shall come to Me, and I will judge them. And often also the moon and the stars have come before Alhym, saying: Yahuah Almighty, You have given us the dominion of the night, and we no longer cover the thefts, and adulteries, and blood-sheddings of men; command us, and we shall do marvels against them. And there came a voice: My long-suffering bears with them, that they may turn to Me; but if not, they shall come to Me, and I will judge them. And in like manner also the sea cried out, saying: Yahuah Almighty, the sons of men have profaned Your set-apart Name; command me, and I shall rise up and cover the earth, and wipe out from it the sons of men. And there came a voice, saying: My long-suffering bears with them, that they may repent; but if not, they shall come to Me, and I will judge them.
Indeed see, ye sons of men, that the whole creation has been made subject to Alhym, but the human race alone sins before Alhym. On account of all these things, bless Alhym without ceasing, and yet more when the sun is setting. For at this hour all the angels come to Alhym to adore Him, and they bring before Him the works of men, of each what he has done from morning even to evening, whether good or evil. And one angel goes rejoicing on account of man when he behaves well, and another goes with a sad appearance.
All the angels at the appointed hour meet for the worship of Alhym, to bring each day’s works of men. But indeed you men, bless Alhym without ceasing. Whenever, therefore, at the appointed hour the angels of righteous men come, rejoicing and singing psalms, they meet for the worship of Yahuah and behold, the Spirit of Alhym says to them: Where do ye come from, rejoicing? And they answered and said: We are here from the righteous men, who in all righteousness spend their life, fearing the name of Alhym. Command them, Yahuah, to live even to the end in Your righteousness. And there came to them a voice: I have both kept and will keep them innocent of offense in my kingdom. And when it came to pass that they went away, there came other angels with a cheerful appearance, shining like the sun. And behold a voice to them: Where have ye come from? And they answered and said: We have come from those who have held themselves separate from the world and the things in the world for Your set-apart Name’s sake, who in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and the dens of the earth, in beds on the ground, and in fastings, spend their life. Command us to be with them. And there came a voice: Go with them in peace, guarding them. Moreover, when they went away, behold, there came other angels to worship before Alhym, mourning and weeping. And the Spirit went forth to meet them, and there came a voice to them: Where have ye come from? And they answered and said: We have come from those who have been called by Your Name, and are slaves to the matter of sin. Why, then, is it necessary to minister unto them? And there came a voice to them: Do not cease to minister unto them; perhaps they will turn; but if not, they shall come to Me, and I will judge them. Know, sons of men, that all that is done by you day by day, the angels write in the heavens. Therefore, cease not to bless Alhym.
