or practically against sexual assault, domestic violence, modern day slavery,
and warfare. Using provocative language to illustrate violence prompts us to
think twice about two domains – ecological disaster and rape. By successfully
linking these issues, Chapman challenges us in thinking about both; even if
the focus of the song is on action in relation to ecological destruction, the
rape language shocks us to think about sexual violence. This response is also
possible with how we interpret Zion’s predicament in Deutero-Isaiah.
