The Psamlist said:
Taste and see
|
Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in him.
|
But do not be like those whose
Feet shall slip in due course
|
Deuteronomy 32:35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them.’
|
Who having not eaten of the heavenly things
But merely tasted then fall away
|
Hebrews For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.
|
Preferring like the dog that
Which proceeds from their own mouth than that
|
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
|
|
Which proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.
|
Deuteronomy 8:3 So he humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.
|
It is these
Who will say on that day,
You taught in our streets;
We heard your voice;
|
Luke 13:26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
|
We prophesied in your name;
We did miracles in your name.
|
Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’
|
He shall spew
Them, as tepid water,
Out of his mouth saying:
|
Revelation 4: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
|
I never knew you.
Depart from me you workers of iniquity.
|
Luke 13:27 But he will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
|
They have not heard the prophet
Cry aloud:
Come to the waters, come buy and eat
Without price, without measure
|
Isaiah 55 Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money: Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
|
To discover that indeed
The Lord is good.
