There is no faithfulness, there is no love

No acknowledgement of God in the land

There is only cursing, lying and murder

Stealing and adultery, they break all bounds

And bloodshed

Follows bloodshed

Because of this

The land mourns

Men who suppress the truth by their wickedness

Men are without excuse

Their thinking has become futile

Their foolish hearts have become darkened

Although they claimed to be wise

They have become fools

There is no faithfulness, there is no love

No acknowledgement of God in the land

There is only cursing, lying and murder

Stealing and adultery, they break all bounds

I will destroy

The wisdom of the wise

The intelligence

Of the intelligent I will frustrate

Men who suppress the truth by their wickedness

Men are without excuse

Their thinking has become futile

Their foolish hearts have become darkened

Although they claimed to be wise

They have become fools

Where is the wise man?

Where is the scholar?

Where is the wise man?

Where is the scholar?

Brood of vipers

The axe is at the root of

Trees bearing no fruit

To be thrown into the fire

Whitewashed tombs

Looking beautiful

On the outside

But inside full of death

Blind guides

Always learning

But never able

To acknowledge the truth

False witnesses

With deceitful tongues

Crushing

The spirit

Oppressors of the poor

Showing contempt for their Maker

Their sacrifice

Is detested

Men of depraved minds

Offering strange fire

Humble yourselves before the Lord

And he will lift you up

Come near to God and he will come near to you

Submit yourselves to Him

Wash your hands, you sinners

And purify your hearts

Grieve, mourn and wail, you double-minded

Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom

Be patient and stand firm

Until the Lord’s coming

His coming is near

The Judge is standing at the door
