"Thus says The Lord: Churches of men, you have surely played the harlot, even as your mother has played the harlot, reveling in her fornications! From the beginning she has been a whore and played the harlot, receiving into herself many lovers! She has never been on the side of truth; deceits are found always in her mouth! Even those who came out of her, to point the finger, became like her!
For there is nothing new under the sun, for the heart of man remains deceitful and wicked! And in his unending quest for power he grows ever more corrupt, as he strives always to enhance his self-perceived glory, that he might fulfill his ever-increasing lusts! Yet I tell you the truth, the reformers are cast down! Every one of them sleeps; in the pit they have all lain down.
O great and lofty churches of men, you have enlarged yourselves! Your pomp reaches unto new heights, higher than your tallest steeple, by which you seek to pierce Heaven! Therefore, I shall surely cast you down; even all of you shall be made to sit upon the ground! For you do always resist My voice, and in your arrogance you reject My words, believing yourselves to be above reproach, deep-seated pride which chokes My Word and is quick to blaspheme My spirit! BEHOLD, YOU HAVE SURELY REPROACHED ME! Says The Lord."
