Word of the Day - 9/19/2008

Inveigh

To inveigh is to protest strongly or attack vehemently with words; rail (usually followed by against).

Isaiah inveighed against those who accumulated houses and displaced the population.

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field,
Until there is no more room,
So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land! (Isaiah 5:8, NASB)

Note: This fresco of the prophet Isaiah was painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564).
