Haiku of righteousness
The day is coming
to fulfil the promise to
Israel, Judah.
At that time, says God,
I'll make a righteous branch spring
up for King David.
Justice, righteousness;
these are what a nation needs.
All else is detail.
Justice, righteousness;
these are the gifts of the one
that God is sending.
Judah will be saved,
Jerusalem will be safe
when justice prevails.
The day is coming,
God says. On that day justice
brings life to the land.
