"The zeal of thine house hath eaten Me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon Me" (Psalm 69:9). "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy… Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:1,18). "Israel… was fruitful… and now she is planted in… a dry and thirsty ground… This is a lamentation" (Ezekiel 19:1,10,13,14). "God is light… if we walk in the light… the blood of Jesus Christ… cleanseth us from all sin" (1 John 1:5,7).
It
was the zeal of Jesus Christ
That
made Him come to our defense.
For
us our Lord was sacrificed
In light of sin's grave consequence.
How
sadly, then, do some yet harden
Their
stubborn hearts that God would win.
The
people perish without pardon,
Who
hate the light exposing sin.
The
lamentation of the plight
That
has befallen Israel
Is
sung in the prophetic light
Explaining
why, at last, she fell.
Lord,
send the light of Your salvation
With
Your magnificence in view
To
spare us from the lamentation
Of
those who go astray from You.
