Taking our youth to Babylon
far from the Temple
seeking to change them
praising other gods
God is jealous, righteous
demanding our faithfulness
love for our neighbors
and focus on our God
A pied piper, a false
prophet
corrupting the nation’s
children
seeking to change their
hearts
praising other gods
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
An unseen evil, but seeing
a pied piper, a false
prophet
corrupting our children’s
hearts
praising other gods
