Their guilt rests upon them because they brought terror to everyone while they were still alive.

 They lie there as outcasts with others who were slaughtered by the sword. They share the shame of all who have descended to the pit.

Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die.

 Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?

“Your people are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right,’ but it is they who are not doing what’s right. 

Lord God my Father,

Soften my heart so I may live by your perfect desire and please you. Help me to do as you wish and draw the lost closer to finding you. Help us to not be hardened in our wickedness. I am the problem, not you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
