Harder than a rock,
Chiseled stony faces,
About the city square,
Cornered in our mazes,
Fixed on our affairs,
Both the least and greatest,
Avoiding truth with care,
Each sentence that God raises.
inspired by the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 5
"And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city." – Isaiah 1:8
Harder than a rock,
Chiseled stony faces,
About the city square,
Cornered in our mazes,
Fixed on our affairs,
Both the least and greatest,
Avoiding truth with care,
Each sentence that God raises.

To everything she did confess
Civility and openness.
Her sacred stones she did admit,
To worship them was counterfeit,
When she declared their maker’s name,
The rock and stumbling block the same.
“But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” I Corinthians 1:23,24
