Here’s the problem with the people who oppose God and want to change America: they care nothing about the ruin of our nation. All due to selfish desires trumping the overall good of others. Calling evil good, doesn’t change evil. It only deceives people and leads them closer to their own destruction.
What sorrow awaits you who lounge in luxury in Jerusalem,and you who feel secure in Samaria!You are famous and popular in Israel,and people go to you for help.2 But go over to Calnehand see what happened there.Then go to the great city of Hamath and down to the Philistine city of Gath.You are no better than they were,and look at how they were destroyed.3 You push away every thought of coming disaster,but your actions only bring the day of judgment closer.4 How terrible for you who sprawl on ivory beds and lounge on your couches,eating the meat of tender lambs from the flock and of choice calves fattened in the stall.5 You sing trivial songs to the sound of the harp and fancy yourselves to be great musicians like David.6 You drink wine by the bowlful and perfume yourselves with fragrant lotions. You care nothing about the ruin of your nation.7 Therefore, you will be the first to be led away as captives. Suddenly, all your parties will end
