Ah, you who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! … Who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of their rights!
Isaiah 5:20-23

O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence —
We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth. We all fade like a leaf…
Isaiah 64:1,6

The photo image is a starving seven-week-old infant in Somalia. It is a hard image to look at, and we share in both the infant’s pain and the bystanders' complicity.
