In you
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
In you they make light of father and mother.
Oppressed the stranger, widow, and all other.
You despised my holy things.
Your lewdness,
Your slander,
Profanity brings.
In you they take bribes.
You take usury, and increase.
You think, He doesn't see,
That you are a thief.
I will beat my fist,
At your dishonest gain.
For forgetting me,
You will feel the pain.
When I deal with you,
Can your heart endure,
Can your hands stay strong?
You will be washed down the sewer,
Where you belong.
