Yelisa van der Bij For
thus says The Lord: "What is this generation to Me? Are you not a
people exceedingly great in number, a people whose cities cover the face
of the earth, like the stars fill the heavens? And though you build and
make for yourselves a name, I shall surely
throw down! For before Me is a generation whose wickedness is great,
sins of every kind propagate in all the earth, a people whose every
inclination is evil continually, a most rebellious people who do not
cease from fighting against Me! Says The Lord... Not since the days of
Noah, when the wickedness of man was great in the earth, have I beheld a
generation such as this; a people who are wise in their own eyes, who
parade their whoredoms openly, without restraint, a most vile people
whose transgressions increase beyond measure, whose sin reaches unto
Heaven! Behold, they seek out evil to embrace it, and the grave that
they might lie down in it; a so-called modern people who make for
themselves laws, that they might practice abomination freely, even to
the murdering of the innocent without fear of reprisal!
BEHOLD, THEY RUN FROM EVIL TO EVIL,
THAT THEY MIGHT PROVOKE ME TO ANGER!
YES, THEY RUN TO AND FRO IN ALL THE EARTH,
COMMITTING EVIL AND PRACTICING ABOMINATION,
FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS HAS NO END!...
They oppress the poor, and the right of the needy they do not defend!
The widows and the fatherless are cast aside,
And the meek are trampled underfoot!...
Day and night you exalt yourselves, O sons of men!
Every day you walk proudly in your rebellion,
And every night you practice abomination!...
Shall you steal, kill and destroy, for the sake of your own glory?!
How long shall you bring forth only works of unrighteousness?!
How long shall you run greedily for gain,
Fueled by your never-ending lusts?!...
YOUR WICKEDNESS OVERFLOWS! -
A PEOPLE WHOSE COVETOUSNESS HAS NO EQUAL!"
