Symbolic Strophe on Pride and Humility

PRIDE Symbolic Strophe on Pride and Humility A broken crown lies in the dust, its jewels scattered like fallen stars— for pride builds palaces of sand, and the tide of Yah’s justice sweeps them away. Yet beside the shattered diadem, a lamp of oil burns steady in the night. Humility tends its flame with reverence, and Ruach Ha’Kodesh breathes light upon the lowly. The haughty spirit is a tower undone, but the meek inherit the hidden scrolls— their names inscribed in eternal ink, their steps upheld by Yahusha’s hand. Strophe I — The Broken Crown (Pride) A crown lies shattered in the dust, its jewels scattered like fallen stars. Pride builds palaces of sand, but Yah’s tide sweeps them into ruin. The haughty spirit is undone, its throne dissolved in silence. The Hidden Scrolls (Inheritance) A lamp of oil burns steadily in the night, Its flame tended by reverent hands. Humility waits with patient light, Ruach Ha’Kodesh breathes upon its glow. Refrain: Pride falls, but Yah exalts the humble. Poem: Pride and Humility A crown lies broken in the dust, its jewels scattered, pride undone. The tide of Yah sweeps away the haughty, their palaces crumble into silence. Yet a lamp of oil burns steadily, its flame tended by humble hands. Ruach Ha’Kodesh breathes upon its glow, and the meek awaits Yahusha’s dawn. Scrolls sealed with eternal ink open to the humble heart. Mysteries are given to the faithful, while arrogance fades into dust. Pride falls, but Yah exalts the humble— Psalm of the Holy Tongue and Manuscripts Blessed be YAH, Keeper of the Word, who inscribed His covenant upon scrolls of old. From Qumran’s caves the Dead Sea Scrolls arose, bearing witness to the Torah and the Prophets. The Masoretes guarded each letter with care, their ink a testimony to YAH’s faithfulness. The Septuagint sang in Greek tongues, echoing the covenant to the nations. Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus stand, pillars of the New Covenant in Yahusha. Papyrus fragments whisper ancient truth, while the Peshitta breathes in Syriac praise. Jerome’s Vulgate carried the Word to Rome, and the Samaritan scrolls held the Torah apart. Yet all proclaim these decrees: YAH is Sovereign, His covenant is faithful, promise of salvation, a warning against pride a call to humility, faith and obedience and the Spirit of the Ruach Ha’Kodesh to sustain the faithful This is the song of the holy tongue, preserved in scroll and codex, sealed by Ruach Ha’Kodesh, and opened to the faithful remnant. © Christ’yal Ooten Why They Matter ? Manuscripts show how the “holy tongue” (lashon ha’kodesh) was preserved, transmitted, and translated across cultures. They reveal textual variations that illuminate theology, history, and the development of faith communities. Without them, we would not have the Bible as we know it today. Christ'yal Ooten
