(The prophet) Jeremiah's take on BushCo |
|
"But they harkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward." Jeremiah 8:24
My man wrote this thousands of years ago. Id say he is dead on about these corrupt meat puppets we have running the show.
Anybody else have some favorite verses they'd like to share? There is plenty to choose from...

Oh that my head were waters And my eyes a fountain of tears That I might weep day and night For the slain of the daughter of my people Oh, that I had in the wilderness A lodging place for travelers That I might leave my people; And go from them! For they are all adulterers An assembly of treacherous men. And like their bow, they have bent their tongues for lies They are not valiant for the truth on the earth. For they proceed from evil to evil. And they do not know Me, says the Lord. Everyone take heed to his neighbor. And do not trust any brother; For every brother will utterly supplant, And every neighbor will walk with slanderers. Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves to commit iniquity. Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit, they refuse to know Me; says the Lord.

4. And one more Isaiah 10: 1-4 |
|
"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees. Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribed To rob the needy of justice. And to take what is right from the poor of my people. That widows may be their prey, And that they may rob the fatherless. What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whome will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory? Without me they shall bow down among the prisoners. And they shall fall among the slain."

Im reading the Bible straight through and now Im in Jeremiah. Its pretty depressing but its good to know that what were going through is nothing new. Even the Israelites had emptyheaded assholes to deal with! Thanks Doni_georgia. Keep em coming :)
