before all Israel – v3


worship out loud, joy
the love God would give them
out in the open, in public display
before all Israel, all God’s people

the pain of estrangement
of breaking God’s love
how the mighty have fallen
not by the sword
but by their own lust

breaking the holy covenant
the tablets broken, in dust
worshiping false idols
breaking God’s heart
