The Lord made it known to me and I knew;     then you showed me their deeds. But I was like a gentle lamb     led to the slaughter. I did not know it was against me     they devised schemes, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,     let us cut him off from the land of the living,     that his name be remembered no more.” But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,     who tests the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them,     for to you have I committed my cause.

Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.”

 

This is so beautifully explained and meditated on by Chad. Andrea Hammond sings "You Take It All".

Lyrics to "You Take It All"

What can I do

With all those who hate

who persecute

and lie in wait

What can I do

But cry out to you

And Your heart of mercy

A heart that is true

Hear me

   hear my prayer

 

So You take it all into Yourself

All of the pain, all of the hurt

All my sinful flaws

Are nailed on the cross 

 

So You take it all into Yourself

Mercy is traded for all that is wrong

A gift from the  Father  

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Amen

 

What will they do

When their time has come 

When you bring disaster 

And their plans are undone 

What will they do

In their final hour

When they meet justice

And resurrection power

 

So You take it all into Yourself

All of the pain, all of the hurt

All of my sinful flaws

Are nailed on the cross 

 

So You take it all into Yourself

Mercy is traded for all that is wrong

A gift from the Father  

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Amen
