"The wicked are... like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely" (Psalm 58:3-5). "The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble" (Proverbs 4:19). "I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets" (Hosea 12:10). "We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept" (Luke 7:32).
How great are the means of persuasion,
Unveiled by God through the ages,
Announcing the way of salvation
Foretold throughout prophecy's pages.
How sadly the wicked refuse
Salvation that God would provide
Because they so stubbornly choose
To turn from the Lord in their pride.
As serpents who will not be charmed
And people who walk in the dark,
They're like those who were not alarmed
When Noah had entered the ark.
O Lord, in this world so jaded,
The choicest of charmers won't do,
But still, by Your Spirit persuaded,
We pray we may draw some to You.
