The valley
Bring then down: I'll judge them there.
For all they have done, all beware.
Who will fall? I search the heart, taken in by their ancient craft.
Enter the valley; I will draw them in, on account of my people, they led into sin.
They cast lots for them that they may drink. Is the Lord blind? What do you think?
They call good evil and evil good, rob the poor, giving bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
He knows our ways, howl and quiver.
Because he is a consuming fire, nothing can stand, burnt in the mire.
Into the valley, they all will go, proclaiming their righteousness for all to know.
But the chaff will be burned with fury and heat.
Then the Lord, will take His seat.
So with Him they are really messing
But to His chosen; He gives the blessing.
