The iniquity

Woe to those who add house to house
and join field to field
until there is no more room
and you alone are left in the land.

These dogs have fierce appetites;
they never have enough.
And they are shepherds
who have no discernment;
all of them turn to their own way,
every last one for his own gain.

For from the least to the greatest of them,
everyone is making profit dishonestly.
From prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.

Therefore, I will give their wives to other men,
their fields to new occupants,
for from the least to the greatest,
everyone is making profit dishonestly.
From prophet to priest,
everyone deals falsely.

But you have eyes and a heart for nothing
except your own dishonest profit,
shedding innocent blood
and committing extortion and oppression.

So My people come to you in crowds, sit in front of you, and hear your words, but they don’t obey them. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest profit.

They covet fields and seize them;
they also take houses.
They deprive a man of his home,
a person of his inheritance.

He then told them, “Watch out and be on guard against all greed because one’s life is not in the abundance of his possessions.”

But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.

Therefore, put to death what belongs to your worldly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

They will exploit you in their greed with deceptive words. Their condemnation, pronounced long ago, is not idle, and their destruction does not sleep.

I hid

I will wait for the Lord,
who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob.
I will wait for Him.

Yes, You are a God who hides Himself,
God of Israel, Savior.

And he

The people did not turn to Him who struck them;
they did not seek the Lord of Hosts.

I have struck down your children in vain;
they would not accept discipline.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets
like a ravaging lion.

Lord, don’t Your eyes look for faithfulness?
You have struck them, but they felt no pain.
You finished them off,
but they refused to accept discipline.
They made their faces harder than rock,
and they refused to return.

After he had spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he had nothing.

In the

Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
