Scripture Content

O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you 'Violence!' and you will not save? Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told. You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?
