You keep telling yourselves that the bad times are way off in the future, but meanwhile you're making things worse by letting violence and injustice take over right now.

When God investigates acts of violence and murder, he remembers those who have been wronged. He never forgets the cries of those who are humble and oppressed.

When you lift up your hands to pray, I will look away from you. Even when you pray many prayers, I will not listen to you because your hands are stained with blood.
