The matter is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones; To the intent that the living may know That the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, And giveth it to whomsoever He will, And setteth up over it the lowest of men.

The mouth of Zeir Anpin
The hair of the beard does not cover the lips. The lips are both red as a lily, as written, “his lips like lilies” (Shir Hashirim 5:13). The lips murmur Gvurah and murmur Chochmah. Good and evil depend on these lips, life and death. Rousers derive from these lips, because when the lips murmur, they are all roused to pronounce judgment in every court of law. They are called watchers, as written, “This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the sentence by the word of the holy ones” (Daniel 4:14).
