A City Brought to Her Knees by Her Sorrows

13–15God enters the courtroom.

He takes his place at the bench to judge his people.

God calls for order in the court,

hauls the leaders of his people into the dock:

“You’ve played havoc with this country.

Your houses are stuffed with what you’ve stolen from the poor.
