[Misers, hear, by God abhorr'd]

The covetous God abhorreth. —x. 3.

Misers, hear, by God abhorr'd,
Tremble at the dreadful word,
While indulged with a reprieve,
Cursed, yet still on earth, ye live;
Hate, renounce the sin ye love,
Ere the Judge from earth remove,
Ere His wrath in hell ye bear,
Want a drop of water there.
