Religion
Jeremiah 8:9: Lo, they have rejected the word, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
What wisdom can in sinners dwell
Who care for neither heaven nor hell.
Refuse their Saviour to embrace.
And scoff the word of truth and grace.''
Howe'er the world their prudence prize,
Unto their own damnation wise,
Their folly they too late shall know,
When mock'd by all the fiends below.
