Though created
in the likeness
of God,
It is not in man
to direct
his own steps.
They cut wood
from a forest,
even decorate it,
then call it god,
But they must carry it
because by itself
it cannot go.
They beat silver
into a plate,
even polish it,
and call it god,
But they must explain
what it says,
because it has
no tongue.
They puff themselves up,
dressing in purple
even red,
and say they're god,
But who among them
can calm the sea,
can wither a tree
can set sinners free?
Behold! Says the Lord
I will throw out this time,
You and the fashions of
your hands
who cannot make the heavens
who did not make this earth.
I Am the Maker of all things,
wood, metal and you,
making and being god
is not what I made you to do.
Jeremiah 10 |
