Divine retribution, for false piety
setting oneself as separate, as knowing God
then choosing
to do evil,
a person, a people,
a party, claiming to protect,
enabling to prey
on innocents; talking a good tale,
living a lie.
Judge not lest ye be judged
in full measure
Oh pillars of salt, oh men of clay
heed the word

"For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."
Hosea 8:7
This passage made me think of the Mark Foley scandal, and the other members of Congress who enabled him to hypocritically write legislation to protect children while preying on them because of his powere and their protection of his dirty secret. How far the mighty will fall.
