God once let loose against Ephraima terrifying sentence against Israel:Caught and convictedin the lewd sex-worship of Baal—they died!And now they’re back in the sin business again,manufacturing god-images they can use,Religion customized to taste. Professionals see to it:Anything you want in a god you can get.Can you believe it? They sacrifice live babies to these dead gods—kill living babies and kiss golden calves!And now there’s nothing left to these people:hollow men, desiccated women,Like scraps of paper blown down the street,like smoke in a gusty wind.
