4. Don’t they know anything,all these impostors?Don’t they knowthey can’t get away with this—Treating people like a fast-food mealover which they’re too busy to pray?
5-6. Night is coming for them, and nightmares,for God takes the side of victims.Do you think you can messwith the dreams of the poor?You can’t, for Godmakes their dreams come true.
