In the temple


2 Timothy 2:20 

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver,

but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

 

Vessel

 

In the temple are many vessels

some of wood and some of clay.

Between these two there is no hassle

for their purpose has been clearly made.

 

There are vessels made so special

some of silver and some of gold.

They do glitter and draw attention,

but they were made … poured in a mold.

 

The first were made with close attention

from a block … then formed by hands.

Personal touch as I should mention

made in love … intertwined as friends.

 

The second group in their glitter

could be duplicated one by one.

Being reproduced in the form and image

that was prepared in times long ago.
