The Holy One of Israel (HOI)

“Does Not Put Up Wi’ Bein’ Despised” Or “Dey Gonna Git Slapped In Da Eye”

(Isaiah 5:24,25 redux)

Dey gonna git slapped in da eye Fo’ despisin’ de HOI. I’m sayin’ I can tell you why Dey gonna get spanked by-and-by. Da anger of da Lord has burned; (25) His mind against them has been turned! Stretched out His hand and struck ’em down; Now deir corpses in the streets can be foun’. An’ yet His anger is still not spent; His hand so stretched out, it’s bent! Mountains a-shakin’ an’ bodies all aroun’; Trash all over the streets! (25) Yet His hand is still stretched out Waitin’ for them to turn about. So He’ll reach out t’ dose ot’er nations; (26) Dey can tune t’ deir own stations! So don’t even mess wi’ da HOI Les’ you git slapped in da eye!
