"saphan" poems
Judah’s fathers were foolish and proud. They did not take into account The law of God; it was ignored! It was lost in the temple, and then restored. As Saphan, the scribe, reads the book aloud Every sentence, every word, and every sound Pierces the core of who I am. I am like a grain of sand Tossed in a sea of woeful grief. Waves of sorrow come out in tears. I tare my clothing and cry, What sin! I see the danger Judah is in! Great is the wrath of the LORD that burns Against us; my soul is greatly disturbed. Walking in wicked, wavering ways My nation cannot and will not obey. Judah follows the footsteps of her fathers. I plea for mercy; only God can alter Hearts to do as He commands. Behold, the total depravity of man!
