Analysis of Gentile World Guilt
The wrath of God is revealed,
From Heaven against heathens;
Unrighteous acts unconcealed,
Ungodliness of pagans.
Unrighteousness subdues truth,
For what can be known by God;
For God can show how uncouth,
Manifested being flawed.
Because His Divine nature,
With His eternal power;
A clearly perceived feature,
Making the righteous cower.
Since the debut of this world,
In the things that have been made;
Without excuse being hurled,
At any time they have strayed.
Although that they have known God,
They have futile a thought;
They do not honor and laud,
For a foolish heart is sought.
Foolish hearts have been darkened,
With vain imaginations;
Ignoring and not hearkened,
Of final destinations.
Professing themselves as wise,
But causing them to be fools;
For the truth closing their eyes,
Ignoring God and His rules.
They had replaced the glory,
Of the Omnipotent God;
Scripture as a made-up story,
Saying it should be outlawed.
God gave them up in their lust,
Their hearts to impurity;
The Bible they do not trust,
Shows their immaturity.
