Your Princes are reoels, Comfedemtes with robbers, Love bribes and seek gifts, not the rights of the helpless, Arid the plea of the widow they bring not before them. says the Life's Prince, the kind Shepherd of Israel, ‘ I will clear off the tyrants, and punish My haters. Will turn My hand on you, refine out your dross, And reserving your best will restore as aforetime Your Stetesmen to govern, Then they will call you the City of }ustice, The Home of the truth; Zion, freed by justice, by Right from her Slavery, While the Wicked are Crushed, and the LORD’S foes defeated, And you blush for the Groves you desired, And feel shemed for the Gardens you chose; When your oak leaves are withered, and gardens unwetered, And your wealthy like tow, and their works like a spark, ODE 3. 2 The Event that Isaiah-ben~Amoz foresaw over Judah and jerusalem.

And they till up their country with horses And their chariots are endless. 8 And they till up their country with Idols, The mere work of the hands of a founder, The thing they have made with their fingers; g M en bow,—-·men fall down to what cannot help them} ro ISAIAH. ‘ Seek a Fortress, or hide in the dust, From the terrible Loan, and the light of His might. rr The proud men’s eyes shall fall, and the lofty shall bow,- The Lonn only be great in that dayl 4 iii
