The Sorrow of Israel

Destruction is Imminent

In the valley of the shadow

Is death.

The agony of the hardened heart

The despair of the broken one

Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives

Ye have reviled them

Ye have raped them

Ye have stoned them

For your crimes

Ye have lost the confidence of your children

Because they see you for what you really are.

Ye have wrested the scriptures

For ye seek to excuse yourselves in committing whoredoms

But there is no excuse

The sobbings of their hearts ascend up to God against you.

O ye wicked generation

I the Lord have seen the sorrow

And heard the mourning of the daughters of my people

Yea in all the lands of my people.

I will not suffer

That the cries of the fair daughters of this people

Shall come up unto me against the men of my people.

Wo unto you that are filthy this day

The land is cursed for your sakes

And your enemies shall scourge you

Even unto destruction.

But to the pure in heart:

Those wounded souls among you,

Pray. With faith.

Look. With firmness.

And He will console you in your afflictions.

He will plead your cause.

He will send down justice upon those who seek your destruction.

Oh hear me, Israel. Wo unto you

For many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds

Because of your bad examples before them.
