The word of righteousness is Hard to be uttered seeing how so many are dull from hearing.
Line upon line, precept upon precept. Here a little, there a little. "Speak unto us smooth things" and lying vanities. Prophesy deceits if you are so inclined. But say not a negative word, a reproof or rebuke. You will be out of business with no customers, nor have the power to get wealth. No man will give to you. But reproach. "Naysayer!" they call you. Separating you from their company. "Who made you to be a judge over us?" Yet daily, early in the morning, the few that are left are sent out among the scorpions. Some are beaten and sent away, others are wounded and shamefully treated, and the manifest sons are killed by those who think they have done God service. Choking the word by denying the prophets to speak, two or three, and another judging. The hireling despises the equipping of the sheep because he is an hireling and cares not whether the sheep live or die.
What he desires is their value in TYTHES and offerings.
