Bible Enigma for August

Listen from:
Who wrote a letter for the Apostle Paul?
On whom did death by worms in judgment fall?
Of Jesse’s sons, which oldest was of all?
Which was the tribe when Jewish priesthood came?
Who sought out Paul, defying scorn and shame?
Who a long journey rode her lord to meet?
Who, as a Psalmist, is declared “the sweet?”
Tell Jacob’s name when he with God prevailed?
What king had ships which oft for treasures sailed?
Who Boaz’ wife became a Moabite?
Who mocked his brother, showing hate and spite?
Who more than all men was for wisdom famed?
Who to a prophet was successor named?
And who was he whose folly made his wife ashamed?
These names search out, then their initials place,
And learn the ground of mercy, love, and grace.
