For the Book's Namesake in Maniacs, Prophecy, and Old Friends

You willfully trod on those around you with pride and sadism. You sin freely saying, “God will forgive me.” You drench your heart in sin and your mind in drugs. Your soul is covered in blood. You claim to be God’s chosen one, a prophet, and yet you lead others astray. You throw down your friends to the wolves for your own convenience, showing no love even to the most worthy. I hear the cries of anguish from your friends and associates.

Has it been a while since you could hear the call of God, oh “great prophet”? Perhaps that is because he is angry with you! Look at what you have done! God has not lied to you, nor abandoned you. God is punishing you. Or have you forgotten? You are so very gullible! You would believe the words of a Satanist, an Atheist, or a Witch over the words of your God! Do you think they would know his words better when they are yet Godless?? Jesus spoke to these people in parables because they could not understand his words. You! Have been given his words in text with many reputable scholars to explain them, men of God, historians, professionals! Yet, you believe a common fool rather than seek your own answers! You tried to play a shepherd but you are a blind sheep!

There are many verses I have for you old friend, but I shall leave you with only one tonight. You know you have done sinful things as of late. Let me correct my own past misinformation:

Isaiah 1:15-20 NIV

15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.

Your hands are full of blood!

16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.

18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good things of the land;
20 but if you resist and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword.

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
