Starved for God

1–69Don’t waste your life in wild orgies, Israel.

Don’t party away your life with the heathen.

You walk away from your God at the drop of a hat

and like a whore sell yourself promiscuously

at every sex-and-religion party on the street.

You have loved a prostitute’s wages

on all threshing floors.

on every grain-threshing floor.

worshiping other gods on every threshing floor.
