                                 Forgiving Debt


                                   a
            After settling a bitter dispute
            Some resentment remains
            How can this be good?

                                                    a
            The righteous man upholds his half of the bargain
            But does not demand anything from the other

                                         a
            The righteous fulfill their obligations
            But the unrighteous demand compensation

            Though our Heavenly God is impartial,
                                           b
                                         c
            He gives to those who serve others
