Say No to the No-gods

Remember, Israel,

You were sold to the nations

not for your destruction;

It was because you angered God

that you were handed over to your foes.

For you provoked your Maker

with sacrifices to demons, to no-gods;…”

Fear not, my children; call out to God!

He who brought this upon you will remember you.

As your hearts have been disposed to stray from God,

turn now ten times the more to seek him;

For he who has brought disaster upon you

will, in saving you, bring you back enduring joy.”
