Genesis 20:11: thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Forgive my partial selfishness.
My rash, censorious thought:
"Among this people, in this place,
Surely the Lord is not!
If strangers to my sect and name,
Strangers they are to Thee,
God is not fear'd, except by them
Who know and honour me."
