Levi H. Dowling

“ They draw to me with speech, and with their lips they honour me; their hearts are far removed from me; their fear for me is that inspired by man.
11. And I will breath upon my people, Israel; the wisdom of their wise men shall be lost; the understanding of their prudent men shall not be found. ”

“ In all the world there is one law of right, and he who breaks that law will suffer grief; for God is just.
29. And Israel has gone far astray; has not regarded justice, nor the rights of man, and God demands that Israel shall reform, and turn again to ways of holiness.
30. And if our people will not hear the voice of God, lo, nations from afar will come and sack Jerusalem, and tear our temple down, and take our people captive into foreign lands. ”

“ When Jesus had thus read he put aside the book and said, You masters of the law, will you make plain for us the prophet's words?
20. Now, Hillel sat among the masters of the law, and he stood forth and said, Perhaps our young rabboni who has read the word will be interpreter.
21. And Jesus said, The Ariel of the prophet is our own Jerusalem.
22. By selfishness and cruelty this people has become a stench unto the Elohim.
23. The prophet saw these days from far, and of these times he wrote.
24. Our doctors, lawyers, priests and scribes oppress the poor, while they themselves in luxury live. ”
