I WILL REBUKE YOU

True knowledge of God is often assumed;

Faith in the Lord may also be presumed.

Many feel that they are “all right” with God;

But they may not have understood the Lord.

 

Many think that religion is merely ritualistic;

They may even be able to fulfil specifics.

But few have bothered to seek further;

To check faith in God, they do not bother.

 

Sadly, many judge others too quickly;

They point out sins self-righteously.

They assume that they are right in so-doing;

They do not realize that they are sinning!

 

The Lord turns around and speaks candidly;

He rebukes them for doing things wickedly!

He listed their sins for them to consider;

They are warned that their sin is severe!
