Their hypocrisy evident
In these harsh words of Jesus
Tithing their spices
But not doing justice,
Worrying about the trivial
But neglecting mercy,
Failing to be obedient,
To walk humbly with God...
 
Layer on layer of judgment,
The blind leading the blind
To death, to damnation,
False leaders straining tea of gnats
But consuming camels,
no room any longer for mercy
For these enemies of Jesus
Only condemnation...
