HOW MUCH
by J. Randal Matheny

Inspired by Ezekiel 14

Must you mimic the pagans? Must you ape
the nations, to worship idols I have banned?
Though Moses, Daniel and Job were in the land,
I would not spare their sons, so they'd escape
With but their lives, for their deep righteousness.
I send you sword and famine, plague and beasts,
To end your whorings, close your shameful feasts.
How much, my wayward people, I long to bless!
