24"But if Judgment Day isn't hidden from the Almighty, why are we kept in the dark?H6256H6845H7706H3045H2372H31172There are people out there getting by with murder— stealing and lying and cheating.H5381H1367H1497H5739H74623They rip off the poor and exploit the unfortunate,H5090H2543H3490H2254H490H7794H22544Push the helpless into the ditch, bully the weak so that they fear for their lives.H5186H34H1870H6041H6035H776H2244H31625The poor, like stray dogs and cats, scavenge for food in back alleys.H6501H4057H3318H6467H7836H2964H6160H3899H52886They sort through the garbage of the rich, eke out survival on handouts.H7114H7114H1098H7704H3953H3754H75637Homeless, they shiver through cold nights on the street; they've no place to lay their heads.H6174H3885H3830H3682H71358Exposed to the weather, wet and frozen, they huddle in makeshift shelters.H7372H2230H2022H2263H6697H42689Nursing mothers have their babies snatched from them; the infants of the poor are kidnapped and sold.H1497H3490H7699H2254H604110They go about patched and threadbare; even the hard workers go hungry.H1980H6174H3830H5375H6016H745711No matter how back-breaking their labor, they can never make ends meet.H6671H996H7791H1869H3342H677012People are dying right and left, groaning in torment. The wretched cry out for help and God does nothing, acts like nothing's wrong!H4962H5008H5892H5315H2491H7768H433H7760H860413"Then there are those who avoid light at all costs, who scorn the light-filled path.H4775H216H5234H1870H3427H541014When the sun goes down, the murderer gets up— kills the poor and robs the defenseless.H7523H6965H216H6991H6041H34H3915H159015Sexual predators can't wait for nightfall, thinking, 'No one can see us now.'H5869H5003H8104H5399H559H5869H7789H5643H7760H644016Burglars do their work at night, but keep well out of sight through the day. They want nothing to do with light.H2822H2864H1004H2856H3119H3045H21617Deep darkness is morning for that bunch; they make the terrors of darkness their companions in crime.H1242H3162H6757H5234H1091H675718"They are scraps of wood floating on the water— useless, cursed junk, good for nothing.H7031H6440H4325H2513H7043H776H6437H1870H375419As surely as snow melts under the hot, summer sun, sinners disappear in the grave.H6723H2527H1497H7950H4325H7585H239820The womb has forgotten them, worms have relished them— nothing that is evil lasts.H7358H7911H7415H4988H2142H5766H7665H608621Unscrupulous, they prey on those less fortunate.H7462H6135H3205H3190H49022However much they strut and flex their muscles, there's nothing to them. They're hollow.H4900H47H3581H6965H539H241623They may have an illusion of security, but God has his eye on them.H5414H983H8172H5869H187024They may get their brief successes, but then it's over, nothing to show for it. Like yesterday's newspaper, they're used to wrap up the garbage.H7426H4592H4355H7092H1870H5243H7218H764125You're free to try to prove me a liar, but you won't be able to do it."H645H7760H3576H7760H4405H408
