קֶסֶם עַֽל־שִׂפְתֵי־מֶלֶךְ בְּמִשְׁפָּט לֹא יִמְעַל־פִּֽיו׃
A divine sentence [is] in the lips of the King: His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
Proverbs 16:10
Here, the King’s ‘divine sentence’ is actually the Hebrew QECEM or ‘קֶסֶם’
1) divination, witchcraft
a) of the nations, Balaam
b) of false prophets
c) in a good sense (the king’s lips as oracles)
The QECEM of Rastafari are oracles – this is why InI shema/hear the speeches and utterances of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Lion of Judah.
“Mr. President, Distinguished Delegates: Twenty-seven years ago, as Emperor of Ethiopia, I mounted the rostrum in Geneva, Switzerland, to address the League of Nations and to appeal for relief from the destruction which had been unleashed against my defenseless nation, by the Fascist invader. I spoke then both to and for the conscience of the world. My words went unheeded, but history testifies to the accuracy of the warning that I gave in 1936.“
