On Trial

Hear O Heaven and give ear earth,
God has nourished you from His cup;
He reared to multiply your birth,
But you fought how He brought you up.

The ox has known of its owner,
And the ass knows its master’s crib;
But you tend to be a loner,
As a child needing a bib.

You do not seem to understand,
A sinful nation in the dark;
Ignoring of the Lord’s demand,
In avoiding where you embark.

People full of iniquity,
The offspring of evildoers;
Children who has dealt corruptly,
As iniquitous pursuers.

For you have forsaken the Lord,
And have despised the Holy One;
Utterly estranged and ignored,
All that the Lord has said and done.

Why should you still be stricken down,
Why a rebel without a cause;
You are acting like a sick clown,
The whole heart faints from all the flaws.

From head to foot there’s no soundness,
But bruises, wounds, and purified sores;
Shall heal from steadfast profoundness,
As your bandaged faith and hope soars.
