"When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet" (Psalm 141:6). "Hear Me now therefore… lest thou… say, How have I hated instruction!" (Proverbs 5:7-12). "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!… These are the words which I [Jesus] spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me" (Luke 24:25,44).
There is a time
not far from now
When mockers
shall be overthrown,
And every knee shall
surely bow
To Jesus Christ
as Lord alone.
Though in this
day we loudly hear
The voice of worldly
seduction,
The day of
Christ's return draws near
When scorners
shall receive instruction.
O may we not be
slow of heart
To trust the words
by prophets spoken!
Let lethal
lethargy depart,
For not one
Scripture shall be broken.
We know, Lord, in
the aftermath,
That every mocker
then shall mourn,
Attentive when
consumed by wrath
Which,
foolishly, they chose to scorn.
