Religion
2 Kings 2:24: He cursed than in the name of the Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Regardless of a private wrong,
No personal revenge he seeks:
Vengeance doth unto God belong.
And mock'd He in His prophet speaks:
Jehovah speaks the direful word.
That old and young, that great and small
May quake before their righteous Lord,
Who hates, and visits sin in all.
