The day is coming

Haiku of righteousness


The day is coming

to fulfil the promise to

Israel, Judah.


At that time, says God,

I'll make a righteous branch spring

up for King David.


Justice, righteousness;

these are what a nation needs.

All else is detail.


Justice, righteousness;

these are the gifts of the one

that God is sending.


Judah will be saved,

Jerusalem will be safe

when justice prevails.


The day is coming,

God says. On that day justice

brings life to the land.
