Are you ready to witness a biblical smackdown of epic proportions? Dive into our latest episode where we, your audaciously atheist hosts, tackle the soap opera-worthy drama of Jeremiah Chapter 3. In "Jeremiah Chapter 3: Ancient Adultery Drama & Tech Troubles," we roll our eyes to the heavens and dissect the divine melodrama where Israel gets labeled the celestial equivalent of a cheating spouse.
Join us as we navigate through the treacherous waters of fidelity, infidelity, and the godly guilt trips of the ancient text. We've got everything from divine divorce papers to fertility gods who just can't deliver the goods. Discover why Judah's got God on read and how a close temple apparently doesn't guarantee close ties to the man upstairs. We’re not just throwing shade at ancient Israelites here; we’re throwing the whole tree.
But wait, there's more! Our episode isn't just about ancient times; we've got modern-day problems too. We get real about our computer woes and offer you an exclusive backstage pass to our chaotic world – it’s not just Old Testament gods that can be wrathful, but also our audio setup. And of course, we can't forget our invitation to you, dear heretics, to join our lively Discord community where we continue the blasphemy and banter.
So, sharpen your critical thinking skills, prepare for some divine comedy, and maybe even a revelation or two about how the ancient text still manages to mirror today's messes. Don't miss "Jeremiah Chapter 3: Ancient Adultery Drama & Tech Troubles," because if you're going to question the moral compass of an omnipotent being, you might as well have fun doing it.

[01:16.340 --> 01:20.980] Welcome to sacrilegiousdiscourse. I'm husband. And I'm wife. Together we're reading the Bible
[01:20.980 --> 01:25.680] for the very first time. We grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was
[01:25.680 --> 01:30.700] about. Well, what have we learned so far? That God is a dick. And apparently some people
[01:30.700 --> 01:35.220] believe in talking donkeys. We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts. Nope. We're
[01:35.220 --> 01:39.180] just reading the Bible for the first time and giving our first take reaction. If you'd
[01:39.180 --> 01:43.340] like to join us in this venture, you might consider starting in episode one. Otherwise
[01:43.340 --> 01:51.180] jump in wherever you like. Alright, let's go read the Bible. Yeah, let's get to it.
[01:51.600 --> 01:57.240] Wife. Do you know where we are and how the fuck we got here? We are in Jeremiah. We are
[01:57.240 --> 02:04.920] in Jeremiah. Yes. And yesterday we covered Jeremiah chapter two two two two. We're only
[02:04.920 --> 02:12.240] in two. Yeah. And I think God was calling Israel a prostitute and fucking horse. Something
[02:12.240 --> 02:17.120] like that. Yeah. And then I don't know there was there was some shit that had. Oh, there
[02:17.200 --> 02:23.240] wasn't wasn't the pot spilled towards the from the north. That wasn't one. Yeah, he saw the
[02:23.240 --> 02:29.120] almonds in one. Oh, damn. Okay. I'm getting the mixed up chapter. She was just like continuation
[02:29.120 --> 02:36.820] of Jeremiah saying, I mean, this is how I felt about it. God is very angry because the Judas
[02:36.820 --> 02:43.580] and the Israels, they're doing bad. Right. They're doing the pagan, you know, celebration
[02:43.580 --> 02:47.420] of Moloch and that's right. That's right. That's right. Oh, yeah. We talked about the
[02:47.420 --> 02:51.700] Valley where they sacrifice children. Him on Valley. Right. Yeah. So there was that
[02:51.700 --> 02:56.500] who paid attention. It was me and mostly you. Yeah. I got some of it. Okay, a little bit
[02:56.500 --> 03:00.540] of it. I got most of it. You got most of it. Yeah. Yeah. So that was Isaiah chapter
[03:00.540 --> 03:06.220] two. You sure as fuck what? Which means that today we're getting into Jeremiah, not Isaiah
[03:06.220 --> 03:09.580] chapter three. I can't get that out of my head. We had to start over one time already
[03:09.580 --> 03:14.060] because I said Isaiah is Jeremiah, damn it. Yeah. Jeremiah, Jeremiah, Jeremiah. But we're
[03:14.060 --> 03:18.700] not starting over this. No, I know. We're going to just go with it. Yeah. So Jeremiah chapter
[03:18.700 --> 03:34.220] three. Yeah, let's do this. Okie dokie. Alright, we are getting into Jeremiah chapter three.
[03:34.220 --> 03:38.900] We sure are not Isaiah, not Jeremiah, Jeremiah, Jeremiah, chapter three. The guy that was
[03:38.900 --> 03:44.340] not the bullfrog. Correct. Yes. Ready? I'm ready. Okay, this is a continuation off of
[03:44.340 --> 03:50.460] the last chapter. Okay. The first five verses or so are like, Oh, we forgot this was still,
[03:50.460 --> 03:56.260] we were still talking. Oh, okay. So remember he was like, follow all the rules fuckers. Yeah.
[03:56.260 --> 04:01.460] Okay. So he's still like, follow all the rules fuckers. So it just starts out like mid paragraph.
[04:01.460 --> 04:04.860] If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return
[04:04.860 --> 04:11.540] to her again? Wait, why the man has it? If she divorces him and no, no, a man divorces his
[04:11.540 --> 04:15.580] wife. Yeah. And she leaves him and marries another man. So like me and you were together,
[04:15.580 --> 04:19.980] right? Yeah. And then you're like wife, I'm divorcing you and I'm like, fine. And then
[04:19.980 --> 04:24.900] I go marry some other dude. And then I'm like, Oh shit, but I missed that other guy. And
[04:24.900 --> 04:29.620] so then I came back to you. Should you marry me again? No. Right. Because Deuteronomy said
[04:29.620 --> 04:34.780] no. Right. And also because you're an asshole. Well, yeah, I mean, it's already, yeah, I'm
[04:34.780 --> 04:39.820] going to take me back. You got to take me back. Well, baby, I love you. People get divorced.
[04:39.820 --> 04:43.220] They usually get divorced because they couldn't, they were incompatible at some level, right?
[04:43.220 --> 04:47.340] Yeah. But maybe they grew. No, no, people like to think they grow. I don't think they
[04:47.340 --> 04:52.020] really do. Like, I mean, you know, to some extent, they do, but like not, not like as
[04:52.020 --> 04:58.060] much as we like to think, you know, you're still, you're still you're still, I would consider
[04:58.060 --> 05:02.020] taking you back. I would say I would say if anything you age, you know, I would consider
[05:02.020 --> 05:06.940] taking you back. I'm the better person here. Yeah, you can't say that. I yeah, we've never
[05:06.940 --> 05:12.380] been divorced. So I know don't ever divorce. Okay, if a man divorces his wife and she
[05:12.380 --> 05:17.020] leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? We decided no, yeah,
[05:17.020 --> 05:24.660] would not the land be completely defiled? I wouldn't. According to Deuteronomy, that marriage
[05:24.660 --> 05:30.580] would be normal. That would be okay. Sure. But you have lived as a fucking prostitute
[05:30.580 --> 05:35.980] with many lovers. Wow. He's calling Israel. Yes, because they, they like all those southern
[05:35.980 --> 05:43.980] gods. Yeah. And so he's comparing himself as a husband saying like you left me and married
[05:43.980 --> 05:49.580] other quote, I take you back because you. Yeah. Okay. And so he's saying, would you now return
[05:49.580 --> 05:53.620] to me? Okay, but you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers. Would you now return to
[05:53.620 --> 05:58.500] me? Declares the Lord. Look up to the Baron Heights and see, is there any place where you
[05:58.500 --> 06:04.740] have not been ravished? You know, the Baron Heights or those places you've been fucking
[06:04.740 --> 06:11.140] around with me on? Okay, I have to say something. First of all, when he says, look up at the
[06:11.140 --> 06:15.180] Baron Heights, he's talking about the hills where they did all their sacrifices and their sex
[06:15.180 --> 06:21.340] things. Right, that's what I figured. And, um, ravished here, doesn't just mean like nasty
[06:21.340 --> 06:26.380] sex. Sometimes it also means rape according to some of the things that but still like,
[06:26.380 --> 06:31.540] right. I mean, he's essentially saying, look at all these places on me on whatever. So that
[06:31.540 --> 06:39.180] who that who that mountain over there by the roadside, you sat waiting for lovers like
[06:39.180 --> 06:45.300] a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness.
[06:45.300 --> 06:51.060] Therefore the showers have been withheld and no spring rains have fallen. So that's why
[06:51.060 --> 06:54.660] they're to drought because because they were, they were fucking around with some other gods.
[06:54.660 --> 07:00.220] Yeah. And then, um, in my notes, I read something that's ironic is that the very thing that these
[07:00.220 --> 07:06.660] people were going to the other gods and goddesses for was fertility and agriculture. Right.
[07:06.660 --> 07:11.300] Because God wasn't delivering probably, right? Yeah. So they were going to these like false
[07:11.300 --> 07:16.140] gods and idols and stuff for this. And God's like, Oh, you are going to them for that?
[07:16.140 --> 07:19.500] So then I will take it away. And that's right. That's why I take some issue with God here
[07:19.500 --> 07:26.940] because when God says, you know, you turn your back on me and stuff, the reason people generally
[07:26.940 --> 07:32.460] turn their back on a, on whatever is because it's not giving them what they need. Right.
[07:32.460 --> 07:39.340] You know, so obviously God was not giving them the water and the, you know, the crops and the
[07:39.340 --> 07:44.380] things that they needed. So they went elsewhere for their prayers to be heard by something else
[07:44.380 --> 07:49.180] because they needed those fucking crops. Here's God. There's God everywhere's God God.
[07:49.180 --> 07:54.140] And I don't blame them. Like, like if you believe in gods and you think that one of them can help you,
[07:54.140 --> 08:01.900] why not try to make it happen? You know, exactly. So yet you have the brazen look of the prostitute.
[08:03.260 --> 08:08.860] You refuse to blush with shame. Like not only are you doing this, you're not even embarrassed about
[08:08.860 --> 08:14.940] it. Got it. Yeah. Wow. Right. Have you not just called to me, my father and my friend from my youth,
[08:14.940 --> 08:21.100] will you always be angry? Will your wrath continue forever? This is how you talk, but you do all the
[08:21.100 --> 08:27.740] evil you can, your Fox evil to him. Right. Not necessarily evil to them. No, yeah, I totally agree.
[08:27.740 --> 08:33.340] The way I'm interpreting how these people lived based on what I'm reading, what we've been reading
[08:33.420 --> 08:41.900] in the Bible is that their idea of what life was was more, it wasn't centered around Yahweh
[08:41.900 --> 08:46.300] necessarily. Right. It was centered around their own lives and what they had going on. And if that
[08:46.300 --> 08:50.940] meant worshiping another God to help something out, so be it. And sometimes I've been following the
[08:50.940 --> 08:57.500] leadership of whoever was running the clan or tribe or kingdom or whatever. I mean, you're fucking
[08:57.500 --> 09:02.540] an area gets taken over by some other clan or tribe, then you're gonna follow that group because you
[09:02.620 --> 09:08.220] don't want to die. Right. And honestly, I'm just trying to grow my grass or whatever. Right. Like,
[09:08.220 --> 09:13.820] I ain't trying to get in trouble with like the law. Yeah. Okay. So now we're entering a new
[09:13.820 --> 09:20.700] section. So this is chapter three proper. Okay. Okay. During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord
[09:20.700 --> 09:28.940] said to me, I think me being Jeremiah. Yeah. Have you seen what faithless Israel has done?
[09:29.820 --> 09:38.780] Oh, she has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery
[09:38.780 --> 09:46.460] there. That bitch. Now he's now he's spreading rumors to his prophets. He's like, did you hear?
[09:46.460 --> 09:56.300] I know, right? I saw Israel's ankles. I thought that after she had done all this, she would return
[09:56.300 --> 10:04.780] to me, but she did not. And her unfaithful sister Judah saw it. I gave faithless Israel her
[10:04.780 --> 10:11.180] certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Are we talking about like
[10:11.180 --> 10:18.780] the northern tribes of Israel now? Because they're currently occupied. Yeah, they're they've been
[10:18.860 --> 10:25.500] taken over by a Syria, I believe. Right. Yeah, they're done. Okay. Yeah, he's like, you know,
[10:25.500 --> 10:29.980] Israel fucked around and found out. Right. And now Judah is doing the same goddamn thing. What the
[10:29.980 --> 10:36.860] fuck? Right. Right. So yeah, I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear. She also went out and
[10:36.860 --> 10:44.380] committed adultery. Because Israel's a moral immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land
[10:44.380 --> 10:50.940] and committed adultery with stone and wood. In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah
[10:50.940 --> 10:57.340] did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense declares the Lord. The Lord said to me,
[10:57.900 --> 11:04.860] faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. Because they're pretending to be righteous
[11:04.860 --> 11:10.540] and they're not. Right. Whereas at least Israel is like, yeah, fuck off. Well, not only that here,
[11:10.540 --> 11:17.900] let me get out of this little thing here and go into my notes is because I actually-
[11:19.660 --> 11:25.020] You got something on this? Yes. And it's worth me scrolling to try to find my notes.
[11:25.020 --> 11:30.060] Well, they did cover in there the stone and the stone and the tree. The stone and the wood. Yeah,
[11:30.060 --> 11:35.180] wood. Yeah. And that was something that we talked about yesterday or the day before with regard to
[11:35.180 --> 11:40.940] those are basically other gods or idols or whatever. Right. Yeah. So only they didn't really even even
[11:40.940 --> 11:44.860] the people in Israel according to the Bible. Right. Didn't really know what or who they were
[11:44.860 --> 11:51.180] worshiping to. They were just worshiping how willy nilly. Exactly. So that verse 11 said,
[11:51.180 --> 11:56.380] the Lord said to me, faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. Okay. And so to
[11:56.380 --> 12:02.060] unpack that a little bit, this is an un- an interesting statement considering how deeply the
[12:02.060 --> 12:07.580] northern kingdom of Israel gave themselves over to idols. Even so, there are several
[12:07.580 --> 12:14.060] reasons why Judas sin was even worse. Okay. Judah had the example of Israel to learn from
[12:14.060 --> 12:20.700] an advantage that Israel did not have. Right. So there's one. Yep. Judah was closer to the
[12:20.700 --> 12:28.220] temple and center of worship. Right. So they should have known better. Sure. Judah had better and more
[12:28.220 --> 12:33.100] spiritual kings than Israel. Like if you lined up their list as list is of kings. Yeah.
[12:33.820 --> 12:38.780] Judas was Judah had more being closer than just going back a step here. But being closer to the
[12:38.780 --> 12:44.060] temple helps you know better because apparently God can't yell any further than like a bullhorn.
[12:44.060 --> 12:47.740] Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. I just wanted to double check. Remember he's very local. Yeah. Yeah.
[12:47.740 --> 12:53.100] No, I know. I mean, he thought the whole world was fucking, you know, from from this tent to that one
[12:53.180 --> 12:58.620] over there. Right. Right. Yeah. Okay. Finally, Judah's problem was treachery and the pretense
[12:58.620 --> 13:04.060] of repentance, at least Israel was honest in their sin. Like they were like, no, I'm sinning.
[13:04.060 --> 13:09.740] Yeah. I'm not even going to pretend with you. Sure. So I just, I, I thought that that deserved
[13:10.540 --> 13:14.780] spelling out because that is such an interesting, weird thing to say. Right.
[13:14.780 --> 13:20.220] That one is more righteous than the other. Like you're comparing like the one that's been
[13:20.220 --> 13:25.660] actually punished is more righteous than the one that is still apparently trying to be better.
[13:25.660 --> 13:31.900] Right. I mean, at least attempting to or whatever, you know, I've got two loaves of bread that are
[13:31.900 --> 13:38.700] both out of date. Right. And I have to tell you, I don't give a shit which one is further out of
[13:38.700 --> 13:43.980] date. They're both bad. That's the way I'm looking at it. But you know, I'm not God. So what the fuck do
[13:43.980 --> 13:50.460] I know? Right. Okay. So God's continuing or no. Jeremiah. No, this is still God. This is
[13:51.340 --> 13:56.140] Jeremiah speaking as God. Okay. Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. Go
[13:56.140 --> 14:02.700] proclaim this message toward the north. Return, faithless Israel declares the Lord. Okay. I will
[14:02.700 --> 14:09.100] frown on you no longer for I am faithful declares the Lord. I will not be angry forever. So he's going
[14:09.100 --> 14:13.900] to take those those Israelites. He's telling the north back. He's like, come on back. Yeah, he's
[14:13.900 --> 14:21.580] telling him, Oh, caveat, only acknowledge your guilt. You have rebelled against the Lord your God.
[14:21.580 --> 14:27.820] You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree and have not obeyed me
[14:27.820 --> 14:35.500] declares the Lord return faithless people for I am your husband. I will choose you one from a town
[14:35.580 --> 14:40.860] and two from a clan and bring you to Zion. So here and there and everywhere. Come. Yeah. Come.
[14:40.860 --> 14:45.900] Sure. Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart who will lead you with knowledge and
[14:45.900 --> 14:51.900] understanding. In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land, people will
[14:51.900 --> 14:58.780] no longer say the arc of the covenant is the Lord. So there will come a time when y'all believe me so
[14:58.780 --> 15:05.340] much that even the arc will not you won't need that. Okay, you won't need that symbol of me.
[15:05.340 --> 15:11.580] You'll just believe in me without that. Sure. I'm like, no, they won't. Well, I mean, to be fair,
[15:11.580 --> 15:17.260] to be fair, we don't really talk about like people believing God, not the arc of the covenant, right?
[15:17.260 --> 15:21.260] Right. Right. That apparently based on that statement, it sounds like the arc of the covenant
[15:21.260 --> 15:28.220] was much a much bigger symbol to them than it is to, you know, current generations of Christians.
[15:28.220 --> 15:33.580] Sure. So at least that's how I'm interpreting that. So I guess I don't know. I feel like he's
[15:33.580 --> 15:38.780] saying there will be a time when you'll be so fucking religious, you human beings that you won't
[15:38.780 --> 15:46.300] have to worry about a symbol of me to look at. You'll always be looking up instead of around at your
[15:47.100 --> 15:52.460] things. Okay. You won't need that earthly representation of me because I won't be sitting
[15:53.100 --> 15:57.260] in that one little tent. Well, if that's the case, then that didn't work out very well. Right. That's
[15:57.260 --> 16:03.820] what I'm saying. Like, no, that melted people's face and then it got sent to a warehouse. Okay.
[16:04.380 --> 16:10.540] It will never enter their minds or be remembered. It will not be missed nor will another one be made.
[16:11.180 --> 16:18.940] At that time, they will call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord and all nations will gather in
[16:18.940 --> 16:25.100] Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil
[16:25.100 --> 16:30.460] hearts. I can't see all the nations of the world gathering together anywhere and worshiping
[16:30.460 --> 16:36.140] anything together. Okay. I can't even see them agreeing on anything. Well, here's the thing. I
[16:36.140 --> 16:42.860] don't know if you recall when Europe, all the countries in Europe started using the euro. Yeah,
[16:42.860 --> 16:52.460] that was a cause for both celebration and fear. The Christians that are like heavily into this whole
[16:52.460 --> 16:58.140] end time stuff, they were super excited because they were like, oh shit, we're all coming together
[16:58.140 --> 17:08.460] under one point. Like, and okay, I kind of in a large overview way of looking at it, you know,
[17:08.460 --> 17:13.900] bigger picture, I'm like, okay, yeah, I get that. Okay, I can see that. But then again, like people
[17:13.900 --> 17:21.420] that were not looking forward to the end of time, they were like, no, this is going to be Satan,
[17:21.420 --> 17:25.980] you know, you're the antichrist coming and I should never happen. So you had like one extreme
[17:25.980 --> 17:32.700] in the other. I did you have any of that? I mean, I've heard of stuff like that, but I don't
[17:32.700 --> 17:38.220] specifically recall that. So, okay, but I've, but I, yeah, I've seen stuff like that pop up, not
[17:39.100 --> 17:44.860] people take a lot of things as signs that this is the end times or this, you know, so I've encountered
[17:44.860 --> 17:51.420] those things before. And I'm always just like, whatever. Like, it's, to me, it's the guy with the
[17:51.420 --> 17:56.300] fucking the sandwich board walking down the street that says the end is nigh, you know?
[17:56.300 --> 18:03.180] Yeah, ringing his bell. Yeah. Yeah. So, I think also, oh, never mind, I forgot what I was going to say.
[18:03.980 --> 18:10.780] Literally, like mid sentence, it was like, no, I'm sorry, nothing carry on. In those days, the people
[18:10.780 --> 18:17.260] of Judah will join the people of Israel and together they will come from a northern land
[18:17.260 --> 18:22.060] to the land I gave your ancestors as an inheritance. What are they going to be doing? Oh, because they're
[18:22.060 --> 18:25.500] going to be conquered by someone in the north. They're going to be coming back down from there.
[18:25.500 --> 18:32.380] Yep. Okay. And that kind of, you know, I mean, trouble come from the north. That's Babylon.
[18:32.940 --> 18:38.060] Babylon came from the north. Did they? Yeah. No, I'm pretty sure. I didn't think Babylon was from
[18:38.060 --> 18:43.260] the north, but I thought they were. I thought that was a whole big deal. Oh, okay. I could be
[18:43.260 --> 18:51.580] wrong too. I mean, God knows that I am no fucking map reader. I myself said how gladly what I treat
[18:51.580 --> 18:57.500] you like my children and give you a pleasant land and most beautiful inheritance of any nation.
[18:58.220 --> 19:02.460] I thought you would call me father and not turn away from following me.
[19:02.940 --> 19:11.180] Yeah, just for the record. Babylon is to the east of Jerusalem. Okay, my bad.
[19:11.180 --> 19:18.060] It's like over in Iraq. Okay. Well, you know, like I said, I'm no atlas. Right. I shrugged.
[19:18.060 --> 19:21.580] It just didn't sound right to me. So I just wanted to double check real quick. So
[19:21.580 --> 19:25.660] you hear what I said? You shrugged. I said, I'm no atlas. I should.
[19:26.380 --> 19:33.980] Me. Okay. But like a woman unfaithful to her husband. So you Israel have been unfaithful to me to
[19:33.980 --> 19:42.300] clear the Lord. A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel
[19:42.300 --> 19:49.740] because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the Lord their God. Return, faithless people.
[19:49.740 --> 19:57.580] I will cure you of backsliding. Okay, I have to read something about that the word backsliding.
[19:57.580 --> 20:06.380] Ready? Sure. The phrase return backsliding is a play on words from the same root chub to turn.
[20:07.180 --> 20:15.660] So the faithless backslider is saying turn away and they are invited to return, which is turn back.
[20:16.300 --> 20:22.140] Okay. So it's another one of those play on words that all men's and turning back.
[20:22.140 --> 20:25.740] Yeah, it sounds more clever in their language than ours. Right. Right.
[20:26.300 --> 20:34.140] Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills and mountains is a deception. Surely in the Lord
[20:34.140 --> 20:41.580] our God is the salvation of Israel. Don't call me Shirley. From our youth, shameful gods have
[20:41.580 --> 20:47.980] consumed the fruits of our ancestors labor, their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
[20:48.700 --> 20:55.100] Let us lie down in our shame and let our disgrace cover us. They're saying they're saying gods,
[20:55.100 --> 21:00.860] these other gods consumed their fruits of their labor and stuff. Yeah. So again, we're giving,
[21:01.820 --> 21:08.140] you know, we're giving them the they're saying they're there. They're saying those are gods.
[21:08.780 --> 21:13.980] They did things. Yep. Yeah. Again. Yep. Even though what Isaiah we just got done saying,
[21:13.980 --> 21:20.220] nah, it's just the one got that one time. Yeah. So that one monotheism. Right. We had a mono moment.
[21:23.020 --> 21:28.860] What I really like is let us lie down in our shame and let our disgrace cover us. That is
[21:29.420 --> 21:35.900] like three fourths of the definition of medical clinical depression. Like
[21:37.180 --> 21:42.460] lying down in your shame, letting your disgrace cover you and you cannot crawl out from under it.
[21:42.460 --> 21:48.140] Right. Because it's a heavy weighted blanket. Yeah. That is pretty good. Like if I was gonna
[21:48.780 --> 21:53.820] you know, say what does depression feel like? I'd be like, well, that's one. That's a little bit
[21:53.820 --> 22:00.700] of it. Right. Right. We have sinned against the Lord, our God, both we and our ancestors from our
[22:00.700 --> 22:08.220] youth till this day, we have not obeyed the Lord, our God, the end. Okay. So they're admitting that
[22:08.220 --> 22:13.500] they're in the wrong again. No, they're not. This is God saying that y'all will say this.
[22:13.500 --> 22:18.940] Oh, come back to me. You'll say all these beautiful things and then and then I'll think about taking
[22:19.100 --> 22:23.820] you back. You know, well, yeah. But keep in mind, we are reading the prophecy from Jeremiah, right?
[22:23.820 --> 22:30.220] So technically, this is Jeremiah prophesizing that this happened because God was talking to him.
[22:30.220 --> 22:37.660] Yeah. So, and then it might be as described, whatever. Baruch, it was Baruch. Baruch? Yeah.
[22:38.380 --> 22:41.740] That doesn't sound right, but okay. I'm pretty sure it's Baruch, B-A-R-U-C-H.
[22:41.740 --> 22:46.300] You're right. You're right. I'm pretty sure I'm right. Okay. All right. Here, I'm gonna go scroll
[22:46.300 --> 22:53.740] and find it. I am because I know that that dude's name was Baruch. Baruch. The Baruch is on fire.
[22:54.300 --> 23:02.060] We don't need no water, let's go. It's Baruch. So I was right? Yeah. You're right.
[23:02.060 --> 23:07.900] God damn. Yep. Here's the thing. I can't remember numbers, but I'm oh shit, I just closed
[23:07.900 --> 23:14.860] out whatever. I'm not good at numbers, but I'm pretty good with like some words sometimes and
[23:14.860 --> 23:23.260] some names sometimes. Right. Because I'm reading them. Yes. Yes. All right. I'm not always great with
[23:23.260 --> 23:30.060] that stuff, but I try really hard. I'm better with like numbers. Oh my God. Well, but also like
[23:30.060 --> 23:35.180] overarching ideas. Like you don't always kind of catch the whole picture. No, I absolutely do not.
[23:35.580 --> 23:40.380] I have zero understanding that there is a whole picture. Sometimes you say something and I'm like,
[23:41.340 --> 23:46.220] what? And you're like, yeah, it was da da da da da da da da. And like this happened and that
[23:46.220 --> 23:51.180] happened. And I'm like, that's not at all what happened. Were you paying attention to what you
[23:51.180 --> 23:58.380] read? No, no, no, no, no. It's sometimes is very confusing in the Bible. And like if you're not
[23:59.340 --> 24:05.180] listening intently, yeah, I was going to be very hard to. I've said this before that I have a very
[24:05.260 --> 24:12.060] difficult time. Sometimes when it is more like dense material, right, I have a really hard time
[24:12.060 --> 24:18.220] taking it in as I'm reading it out loud for the first time and trying to do a decent reading that
[24:18.220 --> 24:24.140] other people will not hate. Right. When you've even seen me as we sit here, you reading the Bible to
[24:24.140 --> 24:29.020] me. Sometimes I'm sitting here like kind of half acting it out as you're reading it. So like keep
[24:29.020 --> 24:32.780] your back on what I'm watching. I'm watching your hands and you're like, this one, like you look
[24:32.780 --> 24:37.980] like you're playing with sock puppets and it's just your hands. Right. It's so cute. I'm trying
[24:37.980 --> 24:42.140] to make sure I'm trying to like visualize what's happening. Like this guy and that guy. And then
[24:42.140 --> 24:47.820] they went under the tree and they banged. No, that's not what happened, baby. Right. No, no.
[24:48.460 --> 24:54.860] Yeah, we're so that was Jeremiah chapter three sure as fuck was which means that tomorrow we'll be
[24:54.860 --> 24:59.820] back with Jeremiah chapter four. And for those of you who didn't join us on discord tonight,

[25:15.340 --> 25:19.580] computer on to save his life. No, I mean, it's Oh, be aware that if you do jump in that we're
[25:19.580 --> 25:23.420] going to have to restart once before you can't get here because that's just the way it always goes.
