Matthew 22:5, 6: O The vile ungrateful race
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
O The vile ungrateful race
His offers to despise!
Some to pleasure went their ways,
Some to their merchandise;
Sons of violent wickedness,
The rest His messengers abhorr'd,
Bold to mock, and wound, and seize.
And kill them with the sword.
