Now, those captains must learn what the river will do
when it makes that great turn out of sight.
How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore
How it spins to the left and the right.
It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride
Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside
‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride
lying flat on their deck in the sun.
There they lie, drying out in the sun.

As you round the point where the river was bent
and survey the great wideness ahead,
you can see all those captains alone on their decks,
beat and broken and very near dead.
Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do
as it drags you down into its maw.
Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash
but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw.

Going back and away, then forward again,
fearing each time, the rocks will prevail!
You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide,
in an eddy withstanding a gale.
But each time you circle that great whirling tide
and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side
and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide,
for the eddy’s small mercy give praise.
Give the merciful currents your praise!

An epic, wide-angle cinematic masterwork of the 144,000 servants of God, divided into twelve massive, disciplined ranks in a valley of white stone. Each rank is led by a towering, ornate scarlet silk banner with gold-embroidered edges. 
The Banners: Distinct symbols are visible on each: a Lion (Judah), Sun over Water (Reuben), Military Tent (Gad), Olive Tree (Asher), Leaping Deer (Naphtali), Fruitful Vine (Manasseh), City Gate (Simeon), Priestly Breastplate (Levi), Celestial Stars (Issachar), Sailing Ship (Zebulun), Wheat Sheaf (Joseph), and Silver Wolf (Benjamin).
The People: In the foreground, the men wear crisp white linen robes with deep Tola-scarlet sashes. Every individual has a brilliant, glowing Golden Seal physically shimmering on their forehead, casting a divine light upward.

Golden Age Storybook Illustration Style, Rich Watercolor and Ink, Detailed Textures. A narrative scene capturing the tense moment of realization outside a rugged, dark cave entrance hidden among dry rocks and gnarled roots.

The Fox and the Evidence: In the bright, sunlit foreground, a clever, reddish-orange fox sits alertly on its haunches, a safe distance from the cave mouth. Its head is tilted, looking intently at the dusty ground. The dirt path leading directly into the dark cave is a chaotic, heavily trampled mess of hundreds of distinct footprints—deer hooves, rabbit paws, badger claws—all pointing inward. Crucially, the dusty ground leading away from the cave is completely smooth and untouched by return tracks.

The Lion and the Den: The cave entrance is a gaping maw of deep shadow. The gaunt, old lion lying in wait are visible, watching the fox intently. The contrast between the warm sunlight outside and the cold darkness inside is sharp.
