"I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me. The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib-- but Israel does know know, My people do not consider....why should ye be stricken any more?....the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint--from the sole of the foot unto the head there is no soundness in it--but bruises, and putrefying sores;they have not been closed, neither bound up." Is 1:3 etc.
"Relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow" "Your hands are full of blood."
"Come now and let us reason together...though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow...though red like crimson they shall be as wool."
"For they shall be ashamed of the oaks they have planted," (I was just looking at them last night, even stroking their new leaves) "and confounded for the gardens they have chosen."
"For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water." ( We are currently experiencing flooding.)
"The strong shall be as tow and the maker of it as a spark and both shall burn together,and none shall quench them." Excelsior!
(And the tares, "wax worse and worse." Am I a grain of wheat? Or one of those praised as "wildly successful plants?)
