Between the Lines
22"For my people is foolish, they have not known me;"
A point that so many still miss, unable to see
"they are sottish children, and they have none understanding:"
As many so called great men are in for a very hard landing
"they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
Choosing it with there own freewill with not so much as a hedge
27"For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate;
yet will I not make a full end."
Words that can so easily be read yet for many too hard to admit
Oh your ear why don't you lend
28 "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black:"
Oh to thee do I warn in your fear of the Lord you should not lack
"because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent,
neither will I turn back from it."
Even you must admit in the understanding of each bit what He meant,
That it was on Him, that you quit!
Jeremiah 4: 22, 27, 28
To many this may seem grim.
But that's the point, for many it is grim.
