A Voice Is Heard 2
A message - doom for people uninsured,
the ancient mentor, Jeremiah spoke.
For forty years he forcefully endured
rejection every day, pariah's yoke.
The weeping prophet cried to heedless folk.
While God's own nation full of doubt and fears
had heard the somber message whereupon
insurance (trust in God) they spurned for years.
At last, eviction: grace and hope foregone.
It's due, captivity in Babylon.
