Do you not know?

Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Have you not been told since the start?
That the time is becoming clear,
About this world will soon depart.

You were told from the beginning,
Understood from the foundation;
How to keep us from the sinning,
For the chance to have salvation.

It is He who does sit above,
Above the circle of the earth;
Stretches out Heaven with His love,
Like a curtain for all its worth.

Stretches out like a tent to dwell,
For inhabitants of this place;
But because they always rebel,
They have become such a disgrace.

He brings the princes to nothing,
Makes the rulers of earth empty;
As to each other badmouthing,
Amoral not feeling guilty.

Meagerly have they been planted,
Scarcely have they taken up root;
Scriptures liberally slanted,
They wither before they bear fruit.

Whenever north winds start to blow,
You can see them wither and die;
Because of distortion they show,
Is a deception as they lie.

To whom then able to compare,
That should be equally like Him;
Because He will ignore your prayer,
At times of despair feeling grim.

Lift up your eyes on high to see,
Who created all the wonders;
As He has allowed you to be,
Full of the mishaps and blunders.

He brings out their host called by name,
By the true greatness of His might;
For His strength you do not proclaim,
In finding favor in His sight.

Why do you say, “Your way is hidden?”
Your right has been disregarded;
Doing things that are forbidden,
From God will not be rewarded.
