O world!  You are void of righteousness.  You desire what you should not.  And you take, with abandon, those things which do not belong to you.

Impatience and greed are your gods.  You serve them with excellent zeal, for they agree with the endless gluttony of your desire.

You consider the Holy One as of no account.  ‘I will do as I please, for I do not see his judgment against me.”  So you say with what you do.

You are blind, and willingly so.  You fill the righteous with sadness as they perceive your willfull plight.  You live as if it brings you delight to see them cry for your sake.

You are like the daughter who has despises her righteous mother.  You are like the daughter who willingly murders her father’s joy.

You are like the daughter of righteous parents, who gives her body to the will of men.  She comes home and laughs in her parent’s face, while they mourn the marks of abuse that lay up on her.  She comes home to despise the love of her parents; to make a mockery of their sorrow.

What will you say on that day you are called to give account?  Will you find your best friend, ignorance, able to assist you against an onslaught of truth?  You are not willing to hear truth now.  How would you stand on that day?

See how the warning is stark and unwavering.  See how the judgment reaches even where you lay. 

God is not cruel; not as you call righteousness.  He has provided a way of escape for every man who heeds these things.  He has provided the sacrifice of his Holy Son, Christ Jesus.  And willingly poured out His Holy Spirit on those with contrite heart.

Do not continue in your way to remain in death.  For as you have come to live, so you will surely die.
