Why do you sow your seed
among the thorns?
What you grow there
will only be choked,
even though there
lies great promise.
My furrows ready wait
and the fruit of your labor
will more than flower.
Break up your fallow ground
and plant seeds I give you,
lest your private crops I burn
so no man can quench until
they blow as ash in the wind.
I will not remain angry forever,
only own your sinning ways, and
I will bring you to fertile Zion then.
Jeremiah 3 and 4 |
