Hear the word of the Lord,
all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
Amend your ways and
Amend your deeds
(then I will let you dwell) (If you listen)
(dwell in this place I gave to your fathers of old) (If you listen and do right thing)
Execute justice,
do not oppress the sojourner
do not oppress the fatherless, widow, and
all those who are in a weak position
do not shed innocent blood
do not falsely accuse with your lies because they don’t appear to be having power so you think you can get away from all the consequences of your evil and lies,
and then saying in the church “I’m delivered”
don’t you know that Jesus is the king of justice and the truth?
He is against all the lies and injustice.
If you think you are alright even though you speak lies,
even though you execute injustice,
even though you oppress the weak,
then you are very arrogant and prideful
and that kind of pride is the abomination to the Lord.
You are not alright because Jesus is the King of Justice
He knows everything. If he doesn’t give right consequences to you for your evil deeds,
then he doesn’t love you at all, and he is not a good God.
But He is good God that is good news for me, but not to you who execute evil as good God execute justice, (as good God execute justice)
He is counting your evils and pride,
and the day of the Lord is coming soon.
Fear the Lord and Amend your way that is the only way of hope for you to live.
If you persistently don’t repent even though the Lord has been persistently saying to you, then the Lord can’t amend His decision for the evil,
and the great calamity that he is preparing upon your evil will come.
