Death & Dying
2 Chronicles 26:21: Ye upstart priests, your sentence know
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Death & Dying
Ye upstart priests, your sentence know,
The marks you can no longer hide.
Your daring deeds too plainly show
The loathsome leprosy of pride;
And if ye still your crime deny.
Who lepers live, shall lepers die.
