A bully and a braggart

A bully and a braggart
pillaging the Temple
taking out the sacred things
praising other gods

Drinking from the golden cups
that the priests used in worship
using the sacred things
praising other gods

God’s hand upon the wall
writing out His judgment
Your time will soon be up
your candle snuffed out

God is jealous, righteous
demanding our faithfulness
love for our neighbors
and focus on God
