Kings 19:10 - And he said, I
have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts:

left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Matthew 23:34

and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye
shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye
scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them
from city to city:
Matthew 23:37

prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto
thee, how often would I have gathered thy
children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

- God hath not cast away his people which he
foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of
Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against
Israel saying, Lord, they have killed thy

left alone, and they seek my life. |
| Whooah, what a
slaughter! |

- Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and
garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say,
If we had been in the days of our fathers, we
would not have been partakers with them in the
blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses
unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them
which killed the prophets.
Luke 11:49-51 - Therefore
also said the wisdom of God, I will send them
prophets and apostles, and some of them they
shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all
the prophets, which was shed from the foundation
of the world, may be required of this generation;
From the blood of Abel unto the blood of
Zacharias which perished between the altar and
the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be
required of this generation.

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when
I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

of saints, and of all that were slain upon the
earth. |
Whoah, what a
woeful situation!
But I and I and I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong
I said, I and I and I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong
Natty, set forth at the four poles of the earth |

Jah |

weep for liberation |

repatriated from the bondage of Babylon |
Isaiah
14:3-4 - And it shall come to
pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee
rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from
the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
That thou shalt take up this proverb against the
king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor
ceased! the golden city ceased! |
Whoah, what a
woeful situation!
Coz I and I and I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong, have done no wrong
I said, I and I and I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong |
|
So fret not,
Natty, fret not
Because of evil-doers |
Psalm
37:1 - Fret not thyself because
of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the
workers of iniquity. |
Coz I and I and
I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong, have done no wrong
I said, I and I and I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong, have done no wrong
I won't be no careless Ethiopian
To go down in the abbey with Babylon
Coz I and I and I and I and I and I and I
Have done no wrong... |
