FBI Doc Alleges Ukrainian Partner Sent ‘Substantial Bribe’ to VP Biden
"Grassley made bombshell claims after reviewing an FBI FD 1024 that documented the informants allegations of an alleged bribery scheme involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now President Joe Biden and a foreign national. Comer disclosed the informant tip is 2020. Yes, it is Ukraine, Comer told Just the News. This form 1023 involves a business person from Ukraine who allegedly sent a bribe, a substantial bribe to then Vice President Biden. The Biden family frequently visited Ukraine for its respective business. Then Vice President Joe served Biden as the Obama administration's Ukrainian quote -unquote point person on US foreign policy. He visited Ukraine six times while serving six to times Ukraine. Hunter joined Biden the board of Ukraine energy company Burisma in April 2014, two years before Joe Biden stated he forced the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, investigated who the company that Hunter Biden was working for. Joe Biden approved an official statement about Hunter's Burisma board position. And despite Hunter's lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, he earned $83 million per month from the energy company, or $1 million a year. While was his son a member of Burisma's board, Joe Biden threatened to withhold, as you know, $1 billion from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government

Newt Gingrich: McCarthy Outmaneuvered Biden on Debt Ceiling Talks
"You're going to lose if the other side has the courage to stand firm. And the fact is that for over 100 days, McCarthy kept saying, and he went to the news media, he got more press coverage. If you go back and look at it, it's amazing how clear he was in communicating through the media despite their liberal bias because he just kept saying over over, and you know, we want to get this solved. And the key there was that the House Republican Conference actually passed a debt ceiling bill with real reforms. And therefore, the Senate Republicans, to my great shock, came out and said we are for McCarthy. And Mitch McConnell, who negotiated many of these deals, said, I'm not in this. This is McCarthy's opportunity. We're going to back McCarthy. And that in put a him position, and the reason I think this really matters in the long run, Mark, is if the center of gravity in Washington becomes the House Republicans, they are the most conservative group in the city, more much conservative than the Senate and obviously dramatically more conservative than the Biden White House. Now the question be will between the investigation process and the effort that they're going to put into the appropriations bills. Can they build on this? I tell everybody, if the debt ceiling was the final deal, I would have voted no. But if it's the first step in setting up a rhythm of winning, we keep so getting more and more goodies, then it's a very important yes. And I say that because if you read, the Mark, majority, you'll figure out, you know, we didn't jump to a balanced budget. We had three years of constant work, gradually inch by inch, getting Clinton in a position where a once balanced budget became possible. I think in this case, I don't think Biden's going to last three years. So the question is, can we get through 2023 2024 and be in a great position in January of 25 with a Republican president, Republican House, Republican Senate, to really drive dramatic, bold, deep

Newt Gingrich: 'A New Kind of Campaigning' Displayed by Ronald Reagan
"Lincoln's farewell address in January 1989, he says very clearly, these great victories weren't mine. These great victories were yours. It was your voice, your calling, your involvement, you the American people. And so we tried to return to model, that big ideas in the Contract with America, that were all 70 % or more in popularity, willingness to fight over the ideas. People forget, you know, this wasn't a picnic. closed We the federal government twice, once for 26 days. We were in a knockdown, some drag out brawl. And I always laugh at the media that says all this really hurt the Republicans. We became the first re -elected majority since 1928, after we closed the government. And the reason was because people thought we were being principled, and people thought that we were serious. We weren't normal politicians. In many ways the strength that Trump brought, in the sense that he wasn't just a regular politician. And I think that my goal is to get Republicans to understand that the consultant class doesn't understand the American people, doesn't respect them, and doesn't study issues, and they make a living out of running junk negative commercials that weaken the whole country. What you need is a much more Reagan -style popular appeal, which can be very tough with your opponent, by the way. Reagan beat the tar out of Jimmy Carter, but it was positive, it wasn't negative.

Newt Gingrich: Previewing New Book 'March to the Majority'
"As a playbook, because March of the Majority lays out how we negotiated with Bill Clinton and aroused public opinion, so that we got welfare reform, the largest single conservative reform in our lifetime. We have the largest capital gains tax cut in history, launching an entire extraordinary period of entrepreneurial growth. We cut regulations dramatically, helping small businesses, and we balanced the federal budget for four consecutive years for the only time in your lifetime. So there are a lot of lessons, we didn't do this because we were lucky, we did it because we worked very hard. We learned over 16 a year period, from 1978 to 1994, what worked and what didn't work. And in March, the majority, I'm giving people a chance to learn, in a free society, The what principles are the that work, how do you put together a majority, and then how do you use that majority to get the policy changes you want. That's why I think March the majority is very relevant for today, it's a history book. And do you get the sense that the Republicans in the House, McCarthy and others, are following the game plan pretty much? Well, I certainly think in the negotiations with Biden on debt the ceiling, there's no question that McCarthy outmaneuvered Biden dramatically. Biden thought he was going to get a debt ceiling with no cuts, no reforms. And it turned out that only only one out of every four Americans favored that. One of the projects I work on is called the America's New Majority the next day. and people can see it at americasnewmajorityproject .com. It was clear that only one out of every four Americans favored Biden's new majority.

When Bitcoin Meets AI by Aleksander Svetski
"A seemingly unstoppable force meets with an immovable object. I know, I know. Your Twitter feed has probably been drowning in threads and tips from AI bros who've discovered 99 ways for you to save 99 hours every week using chat GPT or some other list of 99 AI apps. I'm sick of it too. Trust me, especially considering most of these AI experts were Web 3 experts last year, NFT experts the year before, and DeFi or crypto experts before that. Trend hopping at its finest. That's not to say there's no value here to be found. Somewhere beneath or behind the almost deafening noise coming from these influencers, there is a possible paradigm shift and a genuine set of use cases. We've seen some already, of course. You can chat with these models to reason out a problem. You can summarize thoughts and ideas, find correlations between ideas, search for some information better than you could with Google, and of course, build more linguistically functional chat bots. Perhaps the best use case thus far is the Dev Assistant tool, but I get the sense that we've not yet seen the Uber moment. There is also, somewhere beneath and behind all the scary talk of AGI and the idiocy being proposed by bureaucrats and would -be regulators, a more human -centric, human -enhancing use for these tools. The idea of a language user interface as the next step from the thumb tapping we've been used to over the past decade is fascinating, and what we should be thinking about is how to make these tools new, quote, bicycles for the mind, as Steve Jobs said about computers. It's very important we push back against doomer narratives that lean the world toward approved AI, quote, unquote, in order to avoid such tools becoming yet another appendage of the state.

Markets Mixed as Debt Ceiling Bill Could Threaten Liquidity
"Bitcoin, Ether, and other top tokens are down, and markets trading mixed, but mostly lower. Traders of risk assets broadly, though, are paying close attention to ongoing movement towards a multi -year suspension of the U .S. debt ceiling in a deal that has both Democrat and Republican members of the Business As Usual club declaring victory. The agreement passed the House last night with majority support and now heads to the where it's expected to pass as well, before being signed into law by U .S. President Joe Biden. You might think that with uncertainty around that threat and default likely to soon be over, that risk assets would be hopeful, but that's not exactly how things may work out. Once a suspension is signed into law, a few things are expected to happen. First, the U .S. Treasury will have to refill its almost completely depleted Treasury General account, also known as the TGA, which means selling some $500 billion worth of debt into the financial system, which means they will be extracting that much cash. This is likely to hit risk assets in particular, as they tend to be more sensitive to liquidity conditions than safer plays such as bonds and many groups of equities, macroanalyst Noel Acheson said, continuing, The Treasury drawing down its account at the Fed was one of the tailwinds for the market earlier this year. As money that would normally just sit there was put into the economy in the form of government expenditures, Acheson explained. She continued, Now the reverse is likely to happen. The government needs to replenish the account balance by issuing debt which will draw liquidity out of the market and back into the Treasury's

"Joshua, the son of nun sent two men secretly from she team as spies, saying, go. View the land, especially Jericho. And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was rahab and lodged there. And it was told the king of Jericho behold certain men of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land. Then the king of Jericho sent to rahab, saying, bring forth the men that have come to you, who entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land. But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said, true, men came to me, but I did not know where they came from, and when the gate was to be closed at dark, the men went out, where the men went, I do not know. Pursue them quickly for you will overtake them. But she had brought them up to the roof and hid them with stalks of flax, which she had laid out in order on the roof. So the men pursued after them on the way to the Jordan as far as the Fords, and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut. Before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men. I know that the lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the amorites that were beyond the Jordan to sihan and ogg, whom you utterly destroyed, and as soon as we heard it our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man because of you. For the lord, your God is he who is God in the heaven above and on earth beneath. Now then, swear to me, by the lord, that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house and give me a sure sign, and save a live my father and my mother, my brothers, and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death. And the men said to her, our life for yours, if you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the lord gives us the land.

"The worship that God instructs us to offer. Does something for us? And it has to touch not just the one day we might gather together to offer God worship. It has to touch the rest of our lives. And this is part of why the lord God repeats himself multiple times in exodus and deuteronomy and numbers and leviticus when it comes to worship. We're going to come back to this again and again because getting worship right is so critical. In fact, when we invent worship, we're doing something completely wrong. Like when we create worship, we're doing something so, so backwards from what God is instructing us to do. And yet that's how a lot of churches are run. A lot of these seems like these days I don't mean to be overly critical, but it seems like, in a lot of different places, what we're doing is I think God wants this. We'll do this. Well, I think we'll sing a song here. Let's sing a song here as opposed to saying, okay, how has God commanded us to worship him? Okay? Well, we know, as he said, here's the New Testament priesthood that is a fulfillment of the Old Testament priesthood. Here is the New Testament, new eternal sacrifice, which is the fulfillment of the old sacrifice. And so what we do is we say, okay, God, you said do this in memory of me. Take this all of you eat it. This is my body. This is my blood. That's what we do. Because you gave us the instruction to do that. And yet, let's move past this to leviticus. And yet, that just can't be one day. It can't just be one hour of our lives. It has to be at the heart of our lives. In fact, worship the heart of worship a sacrifice to the heart of the heart of religion is worship our worship is sacrifice and one of the things we need to do is recognize that that sacrifice is a sacrifice of trust.

"He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year when he sold himself to him until the year of jubilee. And the price of his release shall be according to the number of years, the time he was with his owner shall be raided as the time of a hired servant. If there are still many years, according to them, he shall refund out of the price paid for him, the price for his redemption. If there remained but a few years until the year of jubilee, he shall make a reckoning with him. According to the years of service due from him he shall refund the money for his redemption. As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him. He shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight. And if he is not redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him. For to me, the sons of Israel are servants. They are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I am the lord, your God. God's appeal to stubborn Israel, to the choir master, according to the Gita. A psalm of ASAP. Single allowed to God our strength. Shout for joy to the God of Jacob. Raise a song, sound the timber. The sweet liar with the harp. Blow the trumpet at the new moon at the full moon on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel and ordinance of the God of Jacob. He made it a decree in Joseph. When he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known. I relieved your shoulder of the burden. Your hands were freed from the basket. In distress you called and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder, I tested you at the waters of miraba. Here are my people while I admonish you, oh, Israel, if you would but listen to me. There shall be no strange God among you. You shall not bow down to a foreign God, I am the lord, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel would have none of me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own councils.

"I will command my blessing upon you in the 6th year, so that it will bring forth fruit for three years. When you sow in the 8th year, you will be eating old produce until the 9th year. When its produce comes in, you shall eat the old. The land shall not be sold in perpetuity. For the landed mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me, and in all the country you possess, you shall grant a redemption of the land. If your brother becomes poor, and sells part of his property, then his next of kin shall come and redeem what his brother has sold. If a man has no one to redeem it, and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it, let him reckon the years since he sold it and pay back the overpayment to the man to whom he sold it. And he shall return to his property. But if he has not sufficient means to get it back for himself, that what he sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the year of jubilee. In the year of jubilee, it shall be released, and he shall return to his property. If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a whole year after its sale, for a full year he shall have the right of redemption. If it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him, who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the jubilee. But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the jubilee. Nevertheless, the cities of the levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the levites may redeem at any time. And if one of the levites does not exercise his right of redemption, then the house that was sold in a city of their possessions shall be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the cities of the levites, are their possession among the sons of Israel. But the fields of common land belonging to their cities may not be sold, for that is there a perpetual possession. And if your brother becomes poor and can not maintain himself with you, you shall maintain him. As a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you.

And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side, he made 20 frames and the 40 bases of silver.

"See, the lord has called by name bezalel, son of uri, son of her, and of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the spirit of God with ability with intelligence with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship. To devise artistic designs to work in gold and silver and bronze in cutting stones for setting and in carving wood. For work, in every skilled craft, and he has inspired him to teach both him and a holy hub, the son of a Jesse mark of the tribe of Dan. He has filled them with ability to do every sort of work done by craftsmen or by a designer or by an embroider in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, or by a weaver. By any sort of workmen or skilled designer. Bezel and a holy app and every able man in whom the lord has put ability and intelligence to know how to work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the lord has commanded. And Moses called bezalel and a holy hub, and every able man in whose mind the lord had put ability, every one whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work, and they received for Moses all the free will offering which the sons of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him free will offerings every morning so that all the able men who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came each from the task that he was doing. And said to Moses, the people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the lord has commanded us to do. So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, let neither man nor woman do anything more for the offering for the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing. For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work and more.

"Whenever you get the chance, maybe even like literally right now, just crush that subscribe button. As I said today, we're reading from exodus chapter 35 and 36. We're leaving a little bit of the narrative. We visited the narrative for a bit. We had a little digression where we talked about the tabernacle, talked about the labor, talked about all the elements of temple worship, then we got back to the story with the golden calf. And we're also going to go back to the story clearly, but also some Sabbath regulations for the tabernacle and for the offerings brought into the tabernacle. Some of this is going to sound familiar. You've already heard this in exodus and you've heard this in leviticus, and that's why God, he just repeating these instructions, which one of the things that reminds me is not just that. Wow, this is kind of repetitive. But that it's important. We repeat the things that are important. And we highlight those things that are important by uttering them again. One of the things that my older brother will say is that he's like, oh, dude, whenever you're preaching, you just repeat the same thing over and over. I'm like, yeah, dude, because we remember stuff that when it gets repeated over and over again. And here is the lord repeating a bit of what he has already said in leviticus. And what he's even already said, some of these things in the book of exodus. But it's important for us because it is revealing the heart of worship. When it comes to Sabbath when it comes to the tabernacle, when it comes from the offerings that are brought into the tabernacle, it is all about worship. And there's nothing. There's no greater human act that anyone could do than the act of worship. And that's one of the reasons why the lord God continues to instruct us in that the teaching, teaching of worship. So without anything further. Exodus chapter 35 and 36. Sabbath regulations.

As I said, we are reading today from genesis 24. We get to kind of follow new people. Abraham is still around, but Isaac is now around as well. And we get to see what his story is and how this story unfolds that God had promised to bless the world through Abraham and his descendants, and so now we're going to meet some of the descendants. If we go on to the story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebecca, in genesis, chapter 24. Now Abraham was old, will advanced in years and the lord had blessed Abraham in all things. In Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house who had charge of all that he had, put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the lord, the God of heaven, and of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the canaanites among whom I dwell. But will go to my country and to my Kindred and take a wife for my son, Isaac. The servant said to him, perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land, must I then take your son back to the land from which you came? Abraham said to him, see to it that you do not take my son back there. The lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth and who spoke to me and swore to me your descendants, I will give this land he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine. Only you must not take my son back there.

"In heaven, we glorify you and your phrase your name. We thank you so much for your word. We ask you to please enlighten our minds with your truth and enliven our hearts with your love and Jesus name we pray. Amen. In the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, amen, okay, wow. So that reading from genesis is pretty phenomenal. But in so many ways, we can hear this reading and like so many other readings of scripture where we might not get it on the surface. We don't get like what is God trying to reveal to us. We think that this is just crazy. I hope God never asks me of that. Help God never asks me to give him the thing I love the most because sometimes we look at this as it's some arbitrary story. Remember this. Abraham is over well over a hundred years old at this point. So Abraham has been walking with the lord for so, so long. This is not God's springs on Abraham, this offering of a sacrifice. In fact, at the heart of everything in this reading is the fact that we talked about this yesterday that Abraham is the father of faith. And here is the moment where he not just demonstrates, I would say he reveals he reveals the depth of his faith. It is a profound trust in God. Abraham is not under the impression that God is going to take away his son, Isaac. That this story will end with Isaac's destruction. How do we know this? We know this for in so many ways. One is the very text itself. What happens is if they have the two young men who will accompany Abraham and Isaac and Abraham, it says to the two young men, we're going to go up to that mountain and we're going to both come back to you. I mean, he says it. He says, we're both coming back to you. Abraham

Now, The Serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the lord God had made, he said to the woman, did God say you shall not eat of any tree in the garden. And the woman said to The Serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but God said you shall not eat of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden. Neither shall you touch it lest you die. But The Serpent said to the woman, you will not die. For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good and evil. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. And the eyes of both were opened and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the sound of the lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the lord got among the trees of the garden, but the lord God called to the man and said to him, where are you?

Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you not to eat?

Brethren and fathers here the defense which I now make before you. And when they heard that he addressed them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet, and he said, I am a Jew, born at tarsus and cilicia. But brought up in this city at the feet of gemal. Educated, according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day. I persecuted this way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished. Paul tells of his conversion. As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon, a great light from heaven suddenly shown about me. And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, saw why do you persecute me? And I answered, who are you, lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting. Now those who were with me saw the light, but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me, and I said, what shall I do, lord? And the lord said to me, rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do. And when I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus. And one ananias, a devout man, according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, came to me, and standing by me said to me, brother Saul, receive your sight. And in that very hour I received my sight and saw him. And he said, the God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the just one, and to hear a voice from his mouth. For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now, why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name. Paul tells how he was sent to the gentiles. When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance, and saw him saying to me, make haste, and get quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about me. And I said, lord, they themselves know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you. And when the blood of Steven, your witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving and keeping the garments of those who killed him. And he said to me, depart, for I will send you far away to the gentiles.

"Hated the fact that john the baptist convicted him of his sin yet. He liked to listen to john the baptist and so he wanted to wanted to kill him but at the same time. He was compelled by this and he was stuck. He was stuck in this place of sin. Essentially right in that. That can be so many of us where we hate the fact that here i am sitting and i just can't take that step. The free myself can't take that step to allow the lord to free me and here's herod ends with tragedy obviously the death of john the baptist but even worse ends tragedy inherits zone life moving on we have the two feedings of the multitudes feeding of the five thousand in the feeding of the four thousand twelve wicker baskets leftover and seven wicker. Baskets leftover fragments. Now one thing we just need to say is that jesus is doing miracles. All over the place right. He's healing people he's casting out demons. This remarkable He's also feeding people. Remember how jesus is the prophet. Eli he is the profit english right that both of these people they fed multitudes and they fed them with a limited amount of food in those stories of elijah and elisha. The these are not stories of sharing. And if you ever hear that the miracle of the feeding five thousand or the miracle the feeding the four thousand was that when the little boy and the other gospel was willing to give his five loaves and two fish than everyone else was like. Well i guess we'll share our own food too. If you ever hear. Anyone interpreted like that. Just they're wrong. it's completely wrong. It's a nice idea but that is not the point that jesus inspires people to share. No the point is that jesus is the fulfilment of the prophets of old. Gosh you guys. Drive me crazy jesus the fulfillment of the prophets of old. And not only that. But he is the true son of god who has power over over matter has power over. Life has power over everything and he can multiply this food. This is very important. I mean it's a nice little idea that jesus teaches people how to share because he taught me how to share sort of a mom and dad but my mom and dad or not. God jesus is god and so okay. I'll get off my soapbox right now. Because there's nothing more infuriating than when people want rob jesus of his divinity by saying that This piece that that this was the miracle of sharing.

"Why's that because he's good. Nope it is not. It is because god is able to use even those wicked people evil people to accomplish his ends. Hopefully that makes some sense as you go back to jeremiah. Remember jeremiah is. He lived to see the syrians. He lived to see the babylonians he lived to see the fall and destruction of jerusalem. But here's the beginning of his ministry and kindred cya is still alive number decide. Who did all of that renewal of temple worship never jeremiah was originally a priest and just i had renewed the temple worship and even says the lord said to me in the days of king. Have you seen what she did faithless one. She went up on every high hill and under every green tree and played the harlot. Remember in the days of king. Jessica there were people days of all. The king's basically there are people who exchanged worship of god in the temple for cult worship remember. We talked about this before that. Every high hill under evergreen tree those are places that would be essentially code for false. Gods were false temples and not only just false worship but he essentially cold prostitution. If there's if there's any other way to say this once one of the reasons why it's such an appropriate analogy to talk about idolatry in terms of adultery. It just makes a lot of sense because of the fact that this has to do with not only perverted worship of lord but also a distorted version of how to enter into sexual relationships and this is back in chapter two. We just heard this yesterday. Here's a line from chapter two in verse. Thirty two and following it says can a maiden forget your ornaments or a bride her attire. This from yesterday yet. My people have forgotten me days without number. How will you director course to seek lovers so that even to wicked women you have taught your ways also on your skirts found the lifeblood of guiltless poor you did not find them breaking in now let's go back to this can a maiden forget your ornaments or a bride retire thing about this in terms of when you were married in the old testament when you're married in the jewish people.

Each will be like a hiding place from the wind. A covert from the tempest like streams of water in a dry place like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. Then the eyes of those who will see will not be closed and the ears if those who hear will listen. The mind of the rash will have good judgment and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly. The fool will no more be called noble nor the nave said to be honorable for the fool speaks folly and his mind plots iniquity to practice ungodly nece to utter error concerning the lord to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
