11. Light is sown for the righteous. All
along their pathway it is strewn. Their night is almost over, their day is
coming, the morning already advancing with rosy steps is sowing the earth with
orient pearls. The full harvest of delight is not yet ours, but it is sown for
us; it is springing; it will yet appear in fullness. This is only for those who
are right before the Lord in his own righteousness; for all others the
blackness of darkness is reserved. And gladness for the upright in heart.
Gladness is not only for one righteous man in the singular, but for the whole
company of the upright. In the furrows of integrity lie the seeds of happiness,
which will develop into a harvest of bliss. The Gospel of Jesus, wherever it
goes, sows the whole earth with joy for believers, for these are the people who
are righteous before the Lord.
