God, you expect
justice,
but you see
bloodshed;
expect righteousness,
but only hear a cry.
To what then can you
compare
the people of this
generation,
and what are we like?
Who among us can
ascend your hill;
who can stand in your
holy place?
And what sort of
persons do you want us to be
in leading lives of
holiness and godliness?
