Be My Friend

The LORD would speak to Moses face to face,
as one speaks to a friend.
~ Exodus 33

Woe Unto Those Who Rely on Egypt

Woe unto those who go down to Egypt for help,
who rely on horses,
who trust in the multitude of their chariots
and in the great strength of their horsemen,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
or seek help from the LORD.
~ Isaiah 31

You'd better take off your homburg
cause your overcoat's too long....

Children Of The Grave

Therefore...
hear the word of the LORD,
you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
You boast,
"We have entered into a covenant with death,
with the grave we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
and falsehood our hiding place."
So this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
"See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone
for a sure foundation;
the one who trusts
will never be dismayed"
~ Isaiah 28

You Better You Better You Bet

Surely the day is coming;
it will burn like a furnace.
All the arrogant and every evildoer
will be stubble,
and the day that is coming
will set them on fire,”
says the LORD Almighty.
Not a root or a branch will be left to them.
But for you who revere my name,
the sun of righteousness
will rise with healing in its rays.
And you will go out
and frolic like well-fed calves.
Then you will trample on the wicked;
they will be ashes under the soles of your feet
on the day when I act, says the LORD Almighty.
Remember the law of my servant Moses,
the decrees and laws I gave him
at Horeb for all Israel.
See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you
before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.
He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children,
and the hearts of the children to their parents;
or else I will come and strike the land
with total destruction.
~ Malachi 4

Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.
The LORD protects and preserves them—
they are counted among the blessed in the land—
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
The LORD sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.
~ Psalm 41

I was a stranger
and you did not invite me in,
I needed clothes
and you did not clothe me,
I was sick and in prison
and you did not look after me
~ Matthew 25

Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft

The LORD will rise up
as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself
as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work,
his strange work,
and perform his task,
his alien task.
~ Isaiah 28
