Here's Looking At You Kid

Babylon the great has fallen has fallen....
Woe, unto them that call evil good, and good evil
That place darkness for light, and light, for darkness
Which put bitter as for sweet and sweet for bitter woe
Unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in
Their own sight ? Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine
And men of strength to mingle strong drink: which justify the wicked
For reward and take away the righteousness of the righteous from them ?
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff
So their root shall be as rottenness, and, their blossom shall go up as dust: Because....
They have cast away the law of, THE LORD OF HOST, and despised the word of, THE HOLY ONE.
