Jeremiah 6:10 - The Message

"I’ve got something to say. Is anybody listening?
   I’ve a warning to post. Will anyone notice?
It’s hopeless! Their ears are stuffed with wax—
   deaf as a post, blind as a bat.
It’s hopeless! They’ve tuned out God.
   They don’t want to hear from me.
But I’m bursting with the wrath of God.
   I can’t hold it in much longer.
