Passage Content
And when does God become angry?
For a moment during the first 3 hours
of the day, when the comb of a rooster pales,
and it stands on one foot.
But surely at many other times of the day
the rooster stands like this,
on one foot with a pale comb?
At all other times there are red streaks in it,
some of the origianl red color
is retained in the form of streaks
however, at theat time, the moment of God's anger,
there are no red streaks in it.
