flaunt their lewdness and stand in God's house claiming
to be "delivered" to indulge in their sins. "And come

abominations' " (Jeremiah 7:10).
They refuse to change their ways, so instead they re-
joice because of their weaknesses. The nation has be-
come polluted with sinners accustomed to evil. They
have lost all sense of guilt and have become comforta-
ble in their sins. The rapist will soon be looked upon as
heroic, the criminal will be applauded by the masses. The
cheater and the adulterer will be looked upon as cun-
ning and resourceful, for the ultimate end result of "re-
joicing in iniquity" is the exaltation of the vile and law-
less. These sinners and corrupters will be encouraged in
their evil pursuits by permissive laws, compromising
judges, and a sensuous society. Can God spare a nation
from judgment that not only exalts sin but flaunts it in
His face with a devilish spirit of rejoicing? No! God must
judge this nation for becoming entrenched and satisfied
with corruption.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leop-
ard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are
accustomed to do evil.

God's warnings about coming judgment, even quoting
Scripture to their own advantage.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy
