speaks more eloquently...

Brothers and sisters:

You have not approached
that which could be touched
and a blazing fire and gloomy darkness
and storm and a trumpet blast
and a voice speaking words such that
those who heard begged that no message be further addressed to them.
Indeed,
so fearful was the spectacle that Moses said,
"I am terrified and trembling."

No,

you have approached Mount Zion
and the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and countless angels in festal gathering,
and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven,
and God the judge of all,
and the spirits of the just made perfect,
and Jesus,
the mediator of a new covenant,
and the sprinkled Blood
that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel.

Hebrews 12: 18-19, 21-24

Sometimes no poet's verse can outdo the Word of God.
