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.
Yes! I remember really enjoying it, but also feeling pretty guilty because I ended up accidentally getting way more drunk than was appropriate to enjoy it. Not an indictment of the movie, of course.
I should watch it again while sober … Or at least not wasted. However, the details I do remember were fun.
I read the whole thing like Sarah Connor and it was quite cathartic to imagine it being recited like a history lesson. That would be a hell of a week Couldn’t happen to a more fitting person
One verse per line gang represent! Does anyone else find most of the modern translations disappointing for not being as poetic? It’s a bible, it is supposed to edify in the beauty of well crafted prose
Thanks. It seems to me that the Bible thumping crowd would see it was Trump is the one being attacked and the remainder of the passage would be against his enemies, rather than the intended implication that Trump is the enemy.
I couldn’t even care if Trump and his excrement progeny remain bourgeoise douchebags living in comfort. I’d just like them to stop defecating in the temple, and selling tickets to defecate in the temple.

Next May is gonna suck for that guy
Maybe that’s what NSYNC was referencing in that one song.
Ever see In Time starring Justine Timberlake?

I read an embarrassing amount of that before I realized those were verses and not dates.
That’s one hell of a month
1 April just kidding

I first read Sarah Connor as Sean Connery and went back to read it in his accent.
It was 2 for me.
I wouldn’t be embarrassed: it was cringe structure.
based structure

Ramen!
🎝Raaaaaaa, meeeen!🎝
Forgive my ignorance, in this context, who is “he”?
Like, what kind of person is being discussed in this passage?
Mostly just curious. But not curious enough to tarnish my Google search history by looking it up.
It’s a general enemy. Here are the first few verses, which got left out
1 My God, whom I praise,
do not remain silent,
2 for people who are wicked and deceitful have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3 With words of hatred they surround me;
they attack me without cause.
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
5 They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.
6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
It’s not talking about a specific person, but enemies in general.

It’s a psalm that wishes bad on those who oppose you and the love you give. Basically a disstrack on all your enemies.
Wikipedia says it’s attributed to King David but doesn’t give more context. Maybe cursing someone that betrayed him?
Ahmen
