"Tell
your sons about it, And let your sons tell their sons, And their sons the next
generation."
The
responsibility of parents is shown here: to educate them in the way of the
Lord. To pass on the legacy of God's greatness. To promise them with hope and
to warn them of destruction.

"Do
not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, For the LORD has done great
things."
God
always gives hope of deliverance, a promise of prosperity. For, indeed, all the
hardships too are just to help His people realize that the life of a transgressor
is hard, and the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

"They
have also cast lots for My people, Traded a boy for a harlot And sold a girl
for wine that they may drink."
We
look at the immorality and wickedness of our world and wonder, how can God allow
such and such things to happen under our very nose!
Well,
it's not unprecedented. Worse things had happened already and will happen
again, but God is absolutely in control.
A
high view of God and a low view of man (ourselves) will give a lot of peace in
our lives!
