Self-righteousness and hypocrisy together with aristocracy and philosophy will come to test wisdom. They will ask wisdom to demonstrate a manifestation of its being by showing them a convincing sign. But wisdom will be able to fathom the subtlety of the intention behind the test, and with wisdom's words, a hypocrisy will rather be exposed.With baffling clarity, wisdom will answer with these words:
When you look at the sky at the rising of the sun and you see that it is red and threatening, you remark, "There will not be a good weather today." Or, when you gaze at the setting sun and you see that the sky is red, you say, "It will be fair weather." Discerning the appearance of the sky you know well, but discerning the signs of the times you can't? Hypocrisy!
Convincing signs will self-righteousness and hypocrisy seek after, but there will be nothing else that can persuade them, except they understand the mystery of man being days in the darkness of the belly of the deep.
