Read: Psalm 37 / Proverbs 14 / Ezekiel 31 / Colossians 1
Psalm 37:1,35,36 ~ Fret not… I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away… I sought him, but he could not be found.
Proverbs 14:29 ~ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
Ezekiel 31:18 ~ To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees… Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth… This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Colossians 1:17,18 ~ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
The wicked, like a green bay tree,
Shall pass away and not be found.
Fret not, for soon they shall not be,
Though for a moment they are crowned.
Like Pharaoh and his multitude
Who had inspired confidence,
By judgment they shall be pursued,
And Christ shall have preeminence.
