“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing
and does not give him his wages,
who says, ‘I will build myself a great house
with spacious upper rooms,’
who cuts out windows for it,
paneling it with cedar
and painting it with vermilion.
Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
then it was well.
Is not this to know me?
declares the Lord.
But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.” Jeremiah 22:13-17
Trump claims to be a Christian, and likes to be seen with a Bible. But I doubt he has read this, or would understand it if he did. On point, Pam.
Best wishes, Pete.

I recently finished reading Jeremiah. It was a depressing book, a challenging book, and an enlightening one. Thank you for posting this

Thanks for reading, June… of course, in this case, I can’t take any credit; I am only the messenger.
