Jezebel



Jezebels

Saturday 20.02.2021/2013

Sons, be careful of the jezebels,
They are the Devil's disciples.
They will come into your lives,
Blind you of the positives,
Only to incriminate you,
And leave you beyond the point of rescue.
They are temptresses of the Netherlands;
They are the descendants of the wonderlands.

They deal merely in the nether parts,
Strictly programmed to separate your hearts,
Where no one can get around,
And cannot lift you heaven-bound.
Even hell refuses to receive them.
They possess every stratagem.
They are snares and traps for the sons of Zion.
To escape their hands, you must be lions.

They will enter your homes fully exposed.
If you are intrigued, you will get deposed.
And whether you have something to do with them,
Your lives could be unsolvable problems.
Therefore, I warn you, my sons,
Take heed before it is too late to run.
Jezebels have nothing good to offer;
They will distract you from being sober.
