Apocrypha · Chapter 12 of 42
Odae Solomontos
He filled me with words of truth, so that I might proclaim them.
2And like the flow of waters, truth flows from my mouth.
3And my lips showed its fruits.
4And he increased in me his wisdom.
5Because the mouth of the Lord is the true word.
6And the door of his light.
7And the Most High has given it to his worlds, which are the interpreters of his beauty.
