Similarly we find admonitions to each member of the Community that "in this time ... all that happens to him he should welcome freely and be gratified by nothing except G d's will ... [and] wish for nothing that he has not commanded and be ever alert to the precept of G d"

{1QS9.24-25}!

In other words, he must acquiesce to the unjust decrees of the government of Belial that currently rules the world, since this too is G d's will and one cannot rise up against it.

The day of judgment will surely come, but for now it is necessary "to reply with meekness to the haughty of spirit, and with a broken spirit to the men of the bending [of the Law], those who point the finger and speak evil!"

{1QS11.1-2}!

It is from this spirit of acquiescence to the evil forces governing the world that the community member prays to G d, promising:
'I SHALL NOT REPAY ANYONE WITH AN EVIL REWARD; WITH GOODNESS I SHALL PURSUE MAN. FOR TO G D [BELONGS] THE JUDGMENT OF EVERY LIVING BEING, AND IT IS HE WHO PAYS MAN HIS WAGES. I SHALL NOT BE JEALOUS WITH A WICKED SOIRIT, AND MY SOUL SHALL NOT CRAVE
WEALTH BY VIOLENCE. I SHALL NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY DISPUTE WITH THE MEN OF THE PIT UNTIL THE DAY OF VENGEANCE!'

{1QS10.17-19}.

Slaap zacht,
droom zoet en
