A Proverb and a Byword
Walk before me now,
keeping my commands,
my statutes and my rules:
your throne shall be forever.
But if you turn aside,
go serving other gods,
then I will cut you off,
and cast you from my sight,
and all will be astonished,
and everyone will hiss,
why has the LORD done this?
And Israel will be
a proverb and a byword
abandoning the LORD
who brought them out of Egypt,
served other gods instead.
Blessing and protection,
severance and rejection,
carrot and a stick;
which one will you pick?
