Nehemiah 13:17: What evil thing is this ye do
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
What evil thing is this ye do,
Who God's peculiar day profane.
Your calling's common works pursue.
Your journeys, sports, or pleasures vain?
Ye buy — the curse of God! Ye sell —
Your souls to sin, the world, and hell!
