Poetry

---

Behold the day is near,
Burning like a furnace;
Evildoers will fear,
For all their vulgarness.

The arrogant stumble,
When God sets them ablaze;
Burnt to a stubble,
Wrath for the one who strays.

For you who fear His name,
The sun of righteousness;
The Lord will shed no blame,
Wings shield from wickedness.

You shall go out like deer,
Prancing out in the field;
As righteously sincere,
Abundant blessings yield.

You shall tread down evil,
As ash under your feet;
Henchmen of the devil,
Filled with all their deceit.

On the day God will act,
On those who know the Law;
He will be quick to act,
Cleansing of any flaw.

Remember His Commands,
All the statutes and rules;
From Moses that demands,
You not become such fools.

A prophet God will send,
Before the awesome day;
Prophesy of the end,
To those who disobey.

A great day for the Lord,
That will expose the heart;
Of those who have ignored,
For they will soon depart.

He will come smite the earth,
Decree a spoken curse;
The righteous with new birth,
Whose life did not perverse.
