The leaders of the people have led Egypt astray.14The Lord has sent a spirit of foolishness on them, so all their suggestions are wrong. They cause Egypt to stagger like a drunk in his vomit.15There is nothing Egypt can do. All are helpless—

At that time the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, called you to weep and mourn. He told you to shave your heads in sorrow for your sins and to wear clothes of burlap to show your remorse.13But instead, you dance and play; you slaughter cattle and kill sheep. You feast on meat and drink wine. You say, “Let’s feast and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

Lord God my Father,

All around me things are not as they should be. Lord keep me close so I don’t follow the world. I want your Peace to be my peace, I want your Truth to guide me and encourage the lost to seek you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
