The Book of Fugue
◀ Chapter 3 · Chapter 4 · Chapter 5 ▶
¹But in the halls of HÆVAN, ADONAI beheld the doings of His people and His countenance was shadowed with heaviness.
²For they dwelt among the children of SATANAS, and their lot was cast beneath the sceptre of a stranger.
³Though the land was fair and their increase abundant, the pride of ADONAI was stirred as coals within the flame.
⁴He said within Himself, Shall My chosen serve beneath another? Shall they forget the strength of My hand?
⁵The songs they sing are not unto Me alone, but mingle with those of the nations, and their tongues are made unclean.
⁶The daughters of Egypt teach them to dance, and the sons of Egypt teach them to build, and they delight therein.
⁷Their laws are no longer from My mouth, but from the mouths of judges that know Me not.
⁸In their hearts they say, Lo, we have peace; what need have we of the mountain or the fire thereon?
⁹They offer no more in My name alone, but bring incense unto the gods of the land and call it wisdom.
¹⁰The covenant is as a garment left in the sun, and the colour thereof hath faded.
¹¹Shall I look on forever and be still? Shall My jealousy sleep while they forget Me in the comfort of their tents?
¹²The stranger ruleth them with a gentle rod, yet still it is a rod, and their necks are bowed.
¹³I made them not for servitude but for glory; I called them not for ease but for My own purpose.
¹⁴Let Me rise and stir the still waters, that they may remember the strength of their god.
¹⁵Let them be troubled in heart, and sore in soul, until they seek Me and cry out once more.
¹⁶For the peace of the present shall pass, and the burden of truth shall weigh upon them as a stone.
¹⁷I shall not strike with plague, nor speak with thunder, but shall move as a whisper in the dark.
¹⁸They shall not know My hand, yet it shall move among them, and their sleep shall be broken.
¹⁹They shall say one to another, Why is our peace departed? Why is our heart restless within us?
²⁰And thus shall they remember Me, and turn their faces toward the land I gave to their fathers.
²¹Then shall they cry, not to Pharaoh, nor to SATANAS, but to ADONAI alone, and I shall be their guide.
