The Prophetess By the Wall

Take heed where you receive your prophecy                                                                   One may call herself a prophetess only to miss                                                              only she is the self-fulfilled sealed by her own prodigy                                                     to kill true prophets to take what is thine your bliss                                                           Like Jezebel all dressed up with nothing to show                                                             to take the life of others while she threatens to take all                                                     Painted scarlet with silken tongue only the veneer of divine gold                                    * *                                                                                                                           By the true God and His prophets the words that came to pass                                           The place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood                            for her whoredom and witchcrafts the land had no peace was alas                                      Jehu rode under her window not as her Romeo to pine for her love                                     with the words who is with me the eunuchs by her bed                                                  Her writing sprinkled on the wall as Jehu’s stead stood tall                                                not swayed by her fleshly desires through Jezebel to her death                                 *                                             *                                                                      The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel by the Word of Lord                                   Jehu celebrates the call but compassion for she was a king's daughter                                Go bury the woman accursed but no rest for the wicked ward                                           for the false bread will never profit nor tread upon the true waters                                 The skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands is all that was found
The Sprit of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy so I do pray you heed His call                    prophesying from your own heart will end like Jezebel’s gnawed by hounds
