"Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water" (Jeremiah 2:13).
Let heaven be astonished and be horribly afraid,
And earth be thus admonished by the consequences paid!
The drought and desolation in our land that we now see;
Was brought upon our nation by our awful apathy!
For the Fountain of the living waters we callously forsook,
And deprived our sons and daughters of the truth within God's Book.
The broken cisterns that we gave them cannot quench their thirst;
Revive us, Lord, and thereby save them from this drought so cursed!
