Your Lousy Offerings I’ll Abort

Is. 1:12f (1 April, 2022)

The Lord said:

“You stand before Me in My court; Your lousy offerings I’ll abort. Ain’t worth a dime to Me! Take away your solemn assembly; Can’t stand all that phony praise! When you pray, I’ll look the other way; (15) Not gonna listen, ya filthy animal. Find someone else to feed your bull! Your hands are covered with blood; Cleanin’ you up gonna take a flood! Here’s what you do to get clean: You stop bein’ nasty and mean! Learn to do good and seek justice; Defend those orphans amongst us. (17) Call out the wicked and ruthless; Defend the babies and plead for the widow; Be nice and give her some dough! Think about it, you sinners! I’ll clean you white as snow! (18) The deal is, you agree and obey; I’ll take care you, day to day. (19) But if you want to refuse and be mean, I’ll flush you right down the latrine.” (20) But the city of God became a whore. (21) A place where justice used to reign Is full of murderers and others morally insane. Your wine is all watered down. (22) Who would drink it but a clown?
