Translated Text:

Regarding these offenses,
no wise person has ever attained power
which could be called life,
a life, said to be achieved
by the force of flowing metal.
Of such, You, Wise Lord,
know best the consequences.

Commentary:

Power attained through brute force cannot be called life. It is living. A wise person will never do it. God knows best the end of that living.

Pondering Point:

“Through life’s trials we learn the proper way to live.”
