Challenging the Changeless

"There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless, the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.... An ungodly witness scorneth judgment... Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools" (Proverbs 19:21,28,29).

The scorners' strange mentality
(Increasingly the trend),
Supposes words of vanity
Will change things in the end.

As if by constant mocking
(Forgetting judgments past),
Uninterrupted talking
Shall prove them right at last.

But the counsel of the Lord
(Despite their foolishness),
Shall stand and shall award
Their judgment nonetheless.

Turn from scorners' blasphemy,
And trust the Lord instead.
For you may rest with certainty
He'll do as He has said.
