Woe, Sinful Nation!

(Isaiah 1:4f.)

Woe, sinful nation:
Children of evildoers; (4)
Fools that up and left the Lord!
Where else you need that spankin’?
Already been beat to hell!
(Oh, get a load o’ that smell [5]
Stinkin’ bad from head to toe [6]
Bruises, welts, and raw wounds;
Lookin’ like some sorry-ass goons!
Your cities are all burned up; [7]
Lives God had to interrupt!)
But He left you a few survivors: (9)
Some to follow and some as drivers.
Hear the word of the Lord on sodomites; (10)
Think on the word both days and nights:
Your sacrifices mean not a thing; (11)
Like the value of an adulterer’s ring!
Take away your rams and cattle;
Nothin’ but a lot o’ noisy prattle!
