Context :
8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted. 17 He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come back on him. He found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him.
The Bible is like the Constitution. You don’t have to read it to know it’s meaning.
And I’ll add the “/s” because it’s 2025
The four horsemen of things people on the internet don’t read, but still comment about endlessly:
- The Bible
- The US constitution
- 1984
- Whatever article is in the OP
Everybody has enough time to read the constitution. Also 1984 isn’t too long. The bible though? I went to church for 20 years and most people couldn’t make it through the whole thing. It certainly doesn’t help that like the first half of it is boring as hell. (I say that as somebody who got so bored with it I also have never read it through.)
the first half is boring??
that’s where all of the super juicy stuff is!
Getting through Leviticus or Numbers is such a slog. There’s some juicy stuff in there, but the record-keeping parts get real old, real fast.
Too many folks begatting motherfuckers.
