(The prophet) Jeremiah's take on BushCo

[AlecBGreen]

"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...

1. That One's A Keeper

[Mnemosyne]

2. as ye sow, so shall ye reap

can't remember which book in bible, but it boils down to KARMA.

3. Try Jeremiah 9

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.

[doni_georgia]

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."

5. Good ones!

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 :)
