Reflecting on Mangaung: A Call for Moral and Ethical Leadership

Reflecting on Mangaung: A Call for Moral and Ethical Leadership
"The Lord, the Lord of Heaven's Armies, will take away from Jerusalem and Judah everything they depend on: every bit of bread and every drop of water…

For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall,
because they speak out against the Lord and refuse to obey him.

They provoke him to his face. The very look on their faces gives them away.

They display their sin like the people of Sodom and don't even try to hide it.

O my people, your leaders mislead you; they send you down the wrong road.

The Lord takes his place in court and presents his case against his people!

The Lord comes forward to pronounce judgment on the elders and rulers of His people:
'You have ruined Israel, my vineyard.
Your houses are filled with things stolen from the poor.
How dare you crush my people,
grinding the faces of the poor into the dust? '

demands the lord, the Lord of Heaven's Armies" (Isaiah 3)
