-Turn to Me-




            I speak but you will not hear. 
.
            I call but you will not answer.
.
            I instruct but you will not gain wisdom.
.
            I have given you teachers and prophets, and you have beaten them and sent them away wounded.
.
            The truth has fallen in the streets, while the people play drunkenly in graveyards filled with rotting corpses.
.
            You love to stroke yourselves with soothing words while you recline on soft beds.
.
            You delight yourselves on that which is nothing and then approach into my altar with unclean hands.
.
            If I am a father, where is my respect? If I am a master, where is my fear?
.
            Am I a man that you should despise my ways, and reject my instruction?
.
            Would you take fire into your lap and not be burned by it?
.
            Your houses are filled with all that I hate yet you dedicate them to me.
.
            You say we are wise and have the law of the Almighty with us but you trust in that which your hands have made and in that which was conceived in your own empty imaginations.
.
            Tell me now, you that walk in your own council, you that trust in your own knowledge and discard the knowledge of the Most High, when destruction comes who shall be able to stand without me?
.
            I have ordained peace but you have delighted in war.
.
            Therefore understand this, all that choose to take pleasure in the casting down of my afflicted, surely as you have thought in your own heart it shall be measured back to you.
.
            According to all that you have conceived, you shall reap the fruit thereof.
.
            Fear me only and begin to gain understanding.
