Repay according ...

Job 34:33 

33 Should He repay it according to your terms,
Just because you disavow it?
You must choose, and not I;
Therefore speak what you know.

 

Pay me what I deserve? ... Oh brother, that is scary.

Place it in my account ... while I am already bankrupt.

Oh the things I owe ... through my degenerated being.

Yes all I have to offer ... is nothing less than corrupt.

 

Repay according to my wishes? This is the selfish brad I am.

What I think I deserve … surely misses the mark by far.

Oh the flesh that motivates … and the way it likes itself

is far beyond its reason … and far above chosen par.

 

It can’t accept what it does not know or perceive its limitation.

Is it not amazing … that it cannot tolerate this fact?

Much of its time is wasted ... by the thought that it resides

outside of itself in spirituality ... as it only increases its lack.
