I’ve been thinking of this a lot lately:
Ah, sinful nation,
people laden with iniquity,
offspring who do evil,
children who deal corruptly,
who have forsaken the Lord,
who have despised the Holy One of Israel,
who are utterly estranged!
(Isaiah 1:4 NRSV)
Boy Mojito what an appropriate verse! I grieve for my country - from greatness to ruin.
