How long? O Israel! How long?

How long? O Israel! How long?

by HWatts


How long will you delay?
Endlessly debating origins,
ever bickering one with another,
chewing your milk - you think it meat!
Open your eye! Look! See! Understand!
Are not the fields ripe for harvest?
Are you not the children of Abraham,
raised up from Stone?
How long? O Israel! How long?

How long will you slumber, O slacker?
You encourage division, fail to multiply -
Arise! Awake! Tend my garden!
Open your ear. O Jacob! Hear, then speak!
Is not the vine heavy with fruit?
Are you not workers in My Kingdom
who worship at my throne?
How long? O Israel! How long?​
