A sinful nation under four kings of Judah is called to wash itself clean, reason with the LORD, and turn back from a country already left desolate.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Hear heavens, listen earth The LORD has spoken I have nourished and brought up children And they have rebelled against me
The ox knows his owner The donkey his master’s crib But Israel doesn’t know My people don’t consider
Ah sinful nation People loaded with iniquity Children who deal corruptly They have forsaken the LORD They are estranged and backward
From the sole of the foot Even to the head There is no soundness in it
Wounds and welts and open sores The country is desolate Your cities burnt with fire Your land devoured in your presence
The daughter of Zion Left like a shelter in a vineyard Like a hut in a field of melons Like a besieged city
Unless the LORD of Armies Had left to us a very small remnant We would have been as Sodom We would have been like Gomorrah
Hear the LORD’s word, you rulers of Sodom Listen to the law of our God You people of Gomorrah I have had enough of burnt offerings
I don’t delight in the blood of bulls Or of lambs or of male goats Bring no more vain offerings Incense is an abomination to me
Cease to do evil Learn to do well Seek justice The faithful city has become a prostitute
