Crying Out In Ukraine

Stories
“For whenever I speak, I must cry out;
I must shout, “Violence and destruction!”
For the word of the Lord has become for me
a reproach and derision all day long.
If I say, “I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,”
then within me there is something like a burning fire
shut up in my bones;
I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot… But the Lord is with me like a terrifying warrior;
therefore, my persecutors will stumble,
and they will not prevail.
They will be greatly shamed,
I must shout, “Violence and destruction!”
