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.

What is this anyway? Stomping on my people,

grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?”

That’s what the Master,

God-of-the-Angel-Armies, says.
