Words of the prophet
speaking to evil
those who were corrupted
poisoned by power
Hard words to hear
Hard words to speak
truth of injustice
the failing of the people
the leaders corrupt
God would bring judgment
the people cast out
Hard words to hear
hard words to speak

“Silence in the face of evil is itself
evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is
to act.”—Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men
should do nothing.” – Edmund Burke
&
Habakkuk 1:13
“Your eyes are too pure to approve
evil, And You cannot look on wickedness with favor. Why do You look with favor
On those who deal treacherously? Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up
Those more righteous than they?” (NASB)
&
Habakkuk 1:13
“But you can't be serious! You
can't condone evil! So why don't you do something about this? Why are you
silent now? This outrage! Evil men swallow up the righteous and you stand
around and watch!” (The Message)
