Was struck by finding Isaiah 3:13-15 (NLT)
13 The Lord takes his place in court
and presents his case against his people!
14 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.
15 How dare you crush my people,
grinding the faces of the poor into the dust?”
demands the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

on the morning after learning of the third leader in 3 yrs dismissed from the Vineyard. On a positive note also am encouraged by the latest '22' thread:
Psalm 94:22 [NLT]...Psalm 94:22
22 But the Lord is my fortress;
my God is the mighty rock where I hide.
my God is the mighty rock where I hide.
It underlines the FUNdamental need to get back to and stay with the basics of humility, interdependence and cultivation of a life of intimacy with the Lord.
