Fight, O Samaria!

Freedom writhes this day---
Baal is worshipped by the rich
And Baphomet by the poor.
Slaughter, o Samaria
The Canaanite from within you.
Purge their very babes from you.
Dash their infants to pieces.
Destroy, thresh, show no mercy
To the heathen gods---rip down their altars;
Break their altars, and destroy their heritage.
Cause their shame to be forgotten in the lands,
O Israel. Now is not a time for peace,
But for the sword. Thresh from among you
And rip down the faithless, with their horns.

The Assyrian navies, sleek ships from Tarshish,
They sail into thy seas, o Samaria, off thy coasts.
Who shall bewail the children of the god Moloch?
Shall we now do to their infants,
What he has seen fit to do to ours?
They dance, with the horns of devils upon their heads,
And they speak their blasphemes and their curses.
"The Prophet Prophesies!"
So says the people, yet it is another vain vision.
How many prophecies shall they utter in error?
Shall the wicked go unpunished?
Who, thou Samaria, is it who bowed the nape
To Moloch? Is it not even you?
Woe! Iniquity upon Iniquity!
Samaria, you ought have foughten
But instead you made alliances with your own Accusers!
You have sacrificed to the Pagan Bull
And you have burned incense to the Lilith!
Now, shall you be destroyed
And your babes ripped from you.
Where your judgment would have proceeded
As light, it is now darkness, for you,
O Samaria, ought have foughten,
But instead you have made alliance with Sin.
Yet, the Prophets shall be among you,
And wag the tongue, as you lick like an adder
With poison. We shall escape, we men of Judah.
Selah.

Thou Land of Whirring Wings,
Who brought ensigns by papyrus vessels,
Thou cleaved by the rivers,
O, Moab, hide the Children of Israel---
For if they cleave to you, and seek your good,
They shall not be slain.
Do not enter into the war
My Children, but let the nations war among themselves.
For judgment proceed'th from the most high
For their iniquity, and the LORD has lain this trap.
They shall be greatly ashamed, those who accused Judah,
And they shall no more look upon their gods,
And say, "The LORD see'th not."
