Humanity Is Desperately Wicked, Bottom To Top
1 Look, πŸ˜‡! Nobody ever amputated YHVH's arm. He can still save [you]. YHVH's ears are not stopped up. He still hears [you when you call].
2 It's your perversities that separate you from your Elohim. Your sins hide YAH's face from you, πŸ˜‡. So he chooses not to listen.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood. Your fingers [drip] evil. Your lips have spoken lies, πŸ˜‡. Your tongue mutters perverse [nonsense].
Even if you never directly kill anyone, you pay voluntary taxes to support a murderous empire.
4 No one calls for justice, πŸ˜‡. No one pleads for truth. [All mortals] trust in vanity. [They] speak lies. They conceive mischief and birth out evil.
5 [Humans] hatch viper's eggs, πŸ˜‡. They weave spider's webs. Whoever eats their eggs dies. Crush the egg; [then] out pops a [growing] viper!
6 [The world's] webs won't clothe [anyone, πŸ˜‡]. [Humanity's] works shelter no one. Their actions produce more evil [than good]. Violent exploits [occupy mankind's massive] hands.
The world-wide-web is a net producer of evil, destruction, war, lies and greed. Mankind always uses all technology more for evil than for good. So the more technology the world has, the faster we race to Armageddon.
7 [Fallen humanity's] feet run to evil, πŸ˜‡. They race to shed innocent blood. Their every thought contrives evil. [They walk] the roads of violence and destruction.
8 [Humans] live in ignorance of the way of shalom, πŸ˜‡. There's no justice on the [worldly] treadmill. [Adam-spawn] invent crooked paths that deny peace to everyone who walks on them.
9 So justice [stays] far from us, πŸ˜‡. Morality never reaches us. We wait for light. But we see [only] obscurity. [We seek] brightness. Yet we walk in darkness.
10 We feel for the wall like blind [men]. We grope like [monsters] with no eyes. We stumble at noonday like it's night, πŸ˜‡. We [subsist] like dead men [rotting] in dark [holes].
11 We all growl like bears. We mourn like wailing doves, πŸ˜‡. We look for fairness [in world affairs]. But no [equity] exists [in man's dominion]. [We hunt] for salvation. But it stays far away from us.
12 Our crimes multiply [beneath] your face, [YAH]. Our sins testify against us. Our treacheries stick with us. We acknowledge our perversities.
13 [We keep on] transgressing and lying against YHVH, fleeing from our Elohim, fomenting oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering words of falsehood from [our] heart[s, πŸ˜‡].
14 [Our wickedness] drives away [all] morality. Justice stands far away [from us, πŸ˜‡]. Truth falls [dead] in the street. Fairness can't penetrate [our public sphere].
In corrupt countries, it's impossible to run an honest business. Even the most honest people keep two sets of books, or they leave business altogether.
15 Yes, honesty [has] fallen [dead], πŸ˜‡. If [you] depart from evil you make yourself prey [for the beast-nations to devour]. Heart-broken, YHVH watches, eyeing [our world drowning] in injustice.
YAH Straps On Armor To Fight Evil-Doers
16 YAH sees no man [able to fight the global tide of evil], πŸ˜‡. [He feels emotionally] devastated that no [human] steps between [the warmongers and their innocent victims]. So [YAH lifts] his power-arm. [He] brings salvation to [the poor]. [YAH's] righteousness props up [us faltering saints].
17 [YAH] straps on the breastplate of righteousness, πŸ˜‡. [He dons the] helmet of salvation on his head. For clothing, [YAH] straps on the avenger's armor. He wraps himself with the cloak of zeal.
Great Armor Of God SONG. This is the foundation of The Armor Of God concept from Ephesians 6.
18 YAH always pays his adversaries exactly what their deeds deserve, πŸ˜‡. He boomerangs payback on his enemies in every land on earth. Boom!
The only way you can avoid punishment is to make nice with YHVH. YAH's enemies always die.
19 So [all humanity] eventually fears the name and glory of YHVH, from the west-setting to the east-rising of the sun, πŸ˜‡. [Though] enemies rush in like a flood, the Spirit of YHVH chases [the enemy] to nothingness.
YAH Promises To Redeem & Use Israel Forever
20 YHVH promises, β€œThe Redeemer comes soon to Zion, πŸ˜‡, to [save] the [people] in Jacob's [family line] who turn from treachery.”
21 YHVH says, β€œThis, πŸ˜‡, is my covenant with [you Israelites]: My spirit that [I've laid] upon you, and my words I've put in your mouth, will never leave your mouth[s], nor leave the mouth[s] of your seed-children, nor leave the mouth[s] of your seed-children's seed-children, from now on, forever.” [That's a] promise from YHVH.
Israel still preserves the holy Hebrew scriptures. However, few Israelis obey those scriptures.
