Religion
1 Samuel 2:24: Nay my sons: for it is no good report that I hear
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
The fruit of your indulgence see.
Whoe'er in ElPs footsteps tread.
Ye curse your fondled progeny.
Ye pull destruction on their head;
The wrath of an almighty Lord,
Your lenity's effect, they feel:
It fattens for the slaughtering sword,
It softly lets them down to hell.
