“So My people are bent on turning from Me.
Though they [God's prophets] call them [Israel] to the One on high,
None at all exalts Him.
How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
…. My heart is turned over within Me,
All My compassions are kindled.” -Hos. 11.7-8

“But I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am weary with holding it in.” -Jer. 6.11a

High definition colors, lights and themes flash,
Rush-hour movement, talk-radio blasts, cars dash,
