Join us for a hilariously heretical romp through Jeremiah Chapter 50, where we unravel the supposed wrath of an indecisive deity with a penchant for geographical puzzles and a flair for the dramatic. In this episode, we dissect the bizarre and often contradictory prophecies that have left us scratching our heads and questioning the divine game plan – if there ever was one.
As your favorite skeptic duo, we're not afraid to call out the absurdities in the Good Book, and this chapter has them in spades. From a God who uses nations as pawns in His celestial chess game only to turn around and chastise them for following His script, to the sudden appearance of ostriches as if they were the latest addition to Noah's Ark – we've got it all.
We kick things off with a critical look at the supposed divine justice dished out to Babylon – a nation that, let's face it, was just doing what it was told. We delve into the repetitive cycle of vengeance and the baffling concept of inherited sin, all while chuckling at the Almighty's apparent need for constant validation. Spoiler alert: He's still not getting it from us.
And of course, what would our show be without some behind-the-scenes antics? In this episode, we're not alone – our feline co-host makes sure to keep things interesting, offering the perfect counterbalance to the heavy themes of doom and gloom with her purr-fect interruptions.
Whether you're a seasoned atheist looking for a good laugh or a curious theist with a sense of humor, this episode is guaranteed to provide a fresh and snarky perspective on the tales of old. So, grab your favorite beverage, leave your reverence at the door, and let's dive into the mayhem of biblical prophecy with a side of kitty comedy.

[00:01:16] Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife. Together we're reading the Bible
[00:01:20] for the very first time. We grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was about.
[00:01:26] Well, what have we learned so far? That God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking
[00:01:31] donkeys. We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts. Nope, we're just reading the
[00:01:35] Bible for the first time and giving our first take reaction. If you'd like to join us in this
[00:01:40] venture you might consider starting that episode one. Otherwise jump in wherever you like. All
[00:01:44] right, let's go read the Bible. Yeah, let's get to it.
[00:01:50] Husband! Wife! Do you know where the fuck we are and how the hell we got here?
[00:01:56] Well, we just got done reading Jeremiah chapter 49. Sure as fuck did. And we're still in those
[00:02:03] the section where we're going over how God's gonna treat all these other countries and stuff
[00:02:07] in places, I guess. And this last chapter he was going over Amman and Edom, which Edom sounded a
[00:02:17] lot like the Israelites when we got to that one. Like he was gonna redeem them and there's gonna
[00:02:21] be like all these things that he talked very similarly to them as he does to the Israelites
[00:02:28] in the Bible. Sure. That was interesting. And then there was just a bunch of other places
[00:02:32] like Damascus and I don't remember exactly all the rest of them but
[00:02:36] Damascus. Came to places and things and places and stuff. I forget what the last one was the last
[00:02:41] one, Damascus? It was and it was one of the very last ones. Yeah there was Babylon I think and
[00:02:47] Elom and... But whatever the last one was he was like but you guys could have a remnant too.
[00:02:53] Right, yeah. I think it was on what's it called Damascus. I don't remember. It might have been.
[00:02:58] Yeah I could be wrong. But it's really just it's all very confusing and misplaced and
[00:03:04] written differently from the rest of the book. Yeah, yeah. Like what the F is happening. Right.
[00:03:10] So that was Jeremiah chapter 49. Sure as fuck was. And that means today we're getting into...
[00:03:16] Jeremiah chapter 50. All right let's do this. Okie dokie.

[00:04:49] All right so we are hopping into Jeremiah chapter 50 and a few notes before we actually get started.
[00:04:58] First of all these few chapters that we're in are oracles to the other nations and they were
[00:05:06] kind of composed as a unit separate from the rest of the book of Jeremiah and apparently they were
[00:05:17] their own separate unit. Okay. And they are not listed chronologically but instead are listed
[00:05:25] geographically and on top of that because of the way they are composed I've not been
[00:05:34] doing notes as we read them right because they are all one unit I'm waiting
[00:05:41] till we finish this unit to do a Q&A over kind of all of the kind of agreed it would be a bit
[00:05:48] overwhelming to do them in the midst of these chapters because there's just so misplaced it's
[00:05:54] so lengthy and weird and yeah so there's not going to be a Q&A on Saturday right and in fact
[00:06:02] it might be a day off. Yeah because chapter 51 will come on Monday and then we'll do the Q&A over
[00:06:14] all the nations that whole unit and then we'll do that'll be on Tuesday I believe
[00:06:21] and then on Wednesday we'll do our wrap up of the entire book of Jeremiah. Yep and then
[00:06:28] Thursday we'll be doing our contradictions. You're always wrong. Yeah that's the because you're always
[00:06:36] wrong. Okay all right and so I'm not sure what we're doing next Friday maybe nothing we'll see
[00:06:43] when we get there. Yeah I'm playing it by ear. Yeah so just doing things a little bit differently
[00:06:49] and you know that's how we roll we kind of play it by ear and we're kind of loosey-goosey
[00:06:54] you know yeah we're just reading this thing and kind of doing what we do right okay so Jeremiah chapter 50
[00:07:03] okay we're getting into Babylon now. Oh okay all right. The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon
[00:07:10] and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet. Oh okay so I mean
[00:07:17] Jeremiah's kind of been missing as a reference and most of this. It's like I'm sorry who? Right yeah. Who
[00:07:22] said these? Who? Yeah um and let us also not forget the Chaldeans were a small tribe of
[00:07:30] astronomer loving guys that got kind of swallowed by Babylon right so in the book of Jeremiah the
[00:07:39] terms Chaldean and Babylonian are used interchangeably. Right it's kind of like the Babylonians
[00:07:45] use the Chaldeans as a tool and then God was using the Babylonians as a tool so therefore
[00:07:50] it was like a chain of tools. It was like an MLM. It was like a pyramid scheme. Yeah right yeah. All
[00:07:58] right declare among the nations proclaim and set up a standard. Proclaim do not conceal it.
[00:08:06] Say Babylon is taken. Bell is shamed. Meridoc is broken in pieces. Her idols are humiliated. Her
[00:08:15] images are broken in pieces. I mean this this has got to be a prophecy right because none of this
[00:08:22] shit has happened yet not in Jeremiah anyway. Correct yeah so okay um I guess somebody's
[00:08:29] idols are getting smashed. Right sure I mean that's always happening in the Bible in the
[00:08:34] Old Testament because they don't like idols or whatever. Right for out of the north a nation
[00:08:40] comes up against her which shall make her land desolate and no one shall dwell therein. They
[00:08:47] shall move. They shall depart both man and beast in those days and in that time says the Lord
[00:08:56] the children of Israel shall come yeah they will. They and the children of Judah together
[00:09:02] with continual weeping they shall come. Oh wait so this is the destruction of Israel
[00:09:10] not the destruction of Babylon. This is just talking about the Babylonian. Oh you're right
[00:09:14] you're right it's concerning Babylon so I just took that to mean Babylon gon' get it.
[00:09:20] But no you're right okay sorry it turned me off I figured maybe we were talking about
[00:09:26] God getting his vengeance for Babylon or something. But no that's that was different.
[00:09:31] That's not it he's hating on Israel again. Yeah they shall ask the way to Zion with their faces
[00:09:37] toward it saying come and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that will
[00:09:44] not be forgotten. Is that what they're gonna do? Okay my people have been lost sheep their shepherds
[00:09:51] have led them astray they have turned them away on the mountains they have gone from
[00:09:56] mountain to hill they have forgotten their resting place. I do feel like this was written in
[00:10:02] maybe the same time frame as Jeremiah was like the wording in this one does feel familiar yeah
[00:10:10] so yeah not only that but I I like that God is like oh my people were led astray but I hate
[00:10:18] them anyways right yeah like he's like I totally admit that you had shitty leaders
[00:10:24] but I'm still gonna hold you responsible for that. Yeah it's like the boss that never tells you
[00:10:29] how to do anything with them they still yell at you over shits you're doing wrong yeah yeah so
[00:10:34] all who found them have devoured them and their adversary said we have not offended because
[00:10:41] they have sinned against the Lord the habitation of judge justice the Lord the hope of their
[00:10:48] fathers. That's what conquerors do right they come in they're like your God doesn't
[00:10:53] like you so we haven't we haven't done anything wrong yeah it's not our fault you suck right
[00:10:59] move from the midst of Babylon go out of the land of the Chaldeans and be like the Rams before the
[00:11:06] flocks for behold okay I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great
[00:11:15] nations from the north country oh so now now Babylon is getting there okay come up and
[00:11:20] here we go and they shall array themselves against her from there she shall be captured
[00:11:26] what wasn't Babylon from the north also like they kept coming from the north these these must
[00:11:31] be further from the north I guess or maybe like part of the Babylonians left and took over this area
[00:11:37] and then the rest of the Babylonians were like they're not doing the best job down there let's
[00:11:40] go take them over sure it was like the Babylonians fight the Babylonians I get I couldn't tell
[00:11:46] you somebody from the north though sure yeah Santa Claus maybe
[00:11:52] their arrows shall be like those of an expert warrior none shall return in vain and Chaldea
[00:11:59] shall become plunder all who plunder her shall be satisfied says the Lord because you were glad
[00:12:06] because you rejoiced you destroyers of my heritage because you have grown fat like a
[00:12:13] heifer threshing grain and you bellow like bulls your mother shall be deeply ashamed I am
[00:12:22] always ashamed when my child bellows like a bull yeah no she who bore you shall be ashamed behold
[00:12:30] the least of the nation shall be a wilderness a dry land and a desert okay because of the wrath
[00:12:39] of the Lord she shall not be inhabited but she shall be holy desolate everyone who goes by Babylon
[00:12:47] shall be horrified and hiss at all her place I don't think he's gonna leave anywhere untouched
[00:12:52] like it feels like the whole world just gonna be you know of just in the Middle East anyway
[00:12:57] and and barren and desolate just in the Middle East I guess yeah put yourselves in a ray against
[00:13:04] Babylon all around all you who bend the bow shoot at her spare no arrows for she has sinned
[00:13:12] against the Lord shout against her all around she has given her hand her foundations have fallen
[00:13:19] her walls are thrown down for it is the vengeance of the Lord it I mean it's God
[00:13:30] in the Bible used the Babylonians as a tool to do his bidding according to the Bible
[00:13:39] to destroy his people the Israelites who he was pissed off at and now he's like how dare you destroy
[00:13:44] my right no I mean like it's kind of bullshit it's not kind of bullshit it's straight up yeah
[00:13:52] yeah take vengeance on her as she has done so due to her damn okay cut off the sower from Babylon
[00:14:03] and him who handles the sickle at harvest time for fear of the oppressing sword everyone shall
[00:14:10] turn to his own people and everyone shall flee to his own land Israel is like scattered sheep
[00:14:18] the lions have driven him away first the king of Assyria devoured him now at last this nebulous
[00:14:27] nether king of Babylon has broken his bones yeah and it seems like every time they get
[00:14:33] quote unquote devoured God's like you're gonna come back stronger than ever yeah don't worry
[00:14:37] and then they never do right like okay right they suck more all the time therefore thus
[00:14:44] says the lord of hosts the god of israel behold I will punish the king of Babylon and his land
[00:14:52] as I have punished the king of Assyria but I will bring back Israel to his home and he shall feed
[00:14:59] on carmel and bishon his soul shall be satisfied on mount ephrum and gilead and those days and in
[00:15:09] that time says the lord the iniquity of Israel shall be sought but there shall be none and the sins
[00:15:17] of Judah but they shall not be found for I will pardon those whom I preserve that's lucky that's
[00:15:24] nice yeah go up against the land of maratham against it and against the inhabitants of peacock
[00:15:33] waste and utterly destroy them says the lord so okay and do according to all that I have commanded you
[00:15:41] a sound of battle is in the land and of great destruction how the hammer of the whole earth
[00:15:49] has been cut apart and broken how Babylon has become a desolation among the nations
[00:15:55] I have laid a snare for you you have indeed been trapped oh Babylon and you were not aware
[00:16:04] you have been found and also caught because you have contended against the lord no they did exactly
[00:16:12] what he wanted them to do but he used them yeah they allowed themselves you ever you ever think
[00:16:19] like the stuff that we're reading is just like it's purely like propaganda well yeah right like
[00:16:24] I mean there's no TV you can't share news articles right so like this is just like if they get they
[00:16:30] send these messages off to their their foes they're like our god's going to destroy you you know and
[00:16:37] maybe since people believe in gods back then maybe that's a thing that people you know got scared
[00:16:42] about or whatever yeah you know or made them think twice at the very very least like well
[00:16:50] maybe we shouldn't do it because I don't know they do say their god is big right right he does have
[00:16:56] helichases just in case maybe we shouldn't attack you know we've heard about his stinky breath right
[00:17:01] yeah the lord has opened his armory and has brought out the weapons of his indignation
[00:17:08] for this is the work of the lord god of hosts in the land of the chaudians come against her
[00:17:14] from the farthest border open her store houses cast her up as heaps of ruins and destroy her utterly
[00:17:23] let nothing of her be left slay all her bulls let them go down to the slaughter whoa to them
[00:17:35] for their day has come the time of their punishment seems very wasteful to just destroy
[00:17:41] all of their livestock yeah why why does it and just just because you have take joy in destroying
[00:17:47] things right that's what it feels like it's not nice no I like animals let's just let them right
[00:17:52] yeah the voice of those who flee and escape from the land of Babylon declares in Zion the vengeance
[00:18:00] of the lord our god the vengeance of his temple call together the archers against Babylon all
[00:18:08] you who bend the bow in that's what I said no in camp against it all around let none of them escape
[00:18:18] repay her according to her work according to all she is done due to her for she has been proud
[00:18:26] against the lord against the holy one of israel therefore her young man men not just one man
[00:18:35] all the men right the young ones yeah shall fall in the streets and all her men of war shall be cut
[00:18:41] off in that day says the lord behold I'm against you oh most haughty ones says the lord god of hosts
[00:18:51] but you have to interrupt here for just a second yeah because I have to stay I have to say this
[00:18:55] because it's an ongoing thing with us this is completely off subject okay our fucking cat
[00:19:02] our fucking cat oh my god she will we literally no matter how long we put it off the second that we
[00:19:10] hit record that's when she'll go to the litter box and she's not yeah forever and ever even though
[00:19:16] she's not done anything no and so we're trying to like block the sound and then she goes over and
[00:19:21] meows real loud and tries to get into all the cabinets merely because we're doing our podcast
[00:19:27] yeah it's like a ritual yeah like and it never happens unless we're doing our podcast seriously
[00:19:33] it's the only time right so annoying okay sorry anyway I had to throw that out there because I
[00:19:39] I just had to go deal with it because we have to open up a cabinet so that she doesn't get in this
[00:19:43] other thing and no yeah whatever we have to allow her one thing to let her think that she's one
[00:19:51] yeah in order to keep her from the other things right yeah it's so stupid she has we love her though
[00:19:58] well yeah obviously that's why we that's why we do it yeah yeah all right anyway god is going off and
[00:20:04] he's like everything sucks and you suck and I'm gonna get you yeah yeah for your day has come
[00:20:10] the time that I will punish you yeah the most proud shall stumble and fall and no one will raise
[00:20:19] him up I will kindle a fire in his cities and it will devour all around him boring I'm what it is
[00:20:28] it is like how often do we have to hear the same rhetoric die die die death death death I will pound
[00:20:36] you da da da da I remember early on when we started first started reading about all this
[00:20:40] death and destruction and and vengeance that God was was taking upon other people right
[00:20:46] and it used to like be a little bit disturbing how disturbing it was right right it used to be
[00:20:53] a little bit shocking you see a little bit oh I didn't realize God was so like
[00:20:58] um just what's the word like he's so violent violent and petty and mean yeah and and but
[00:21:09] it's almost numbing at this point how crappy this God is he's like never kind no and if he if he
[00:21:17] does a nice thing it's never out of kindness it's always like there will be strings attached right
[00:21:24] right I do expect you to suck my dick for the ages well and he loves to create like we had all
[00:21:29] these covenants way back when too where we make these like you know multi-generational deals
[00:21:35] with God right that we're expected to hold our end of the bargain up for all time yeah and and God
[00:21:42] meanwhile um sees us fuck up once and he's like eh fuck you yeah and I'm going to hold 10 generations
[00:21:48] responsible and then you can maybe get back at my good graces but only briefly because then
[00:21:53] I'll probably want to kill you again soon after that so right right it's just it's so
[00:21:58] he's so mean and and short-sighted and just small and petty not a very good God not a very good God
[00:22:04] honest with you yeah I think this God has no leadership skills none honestly none whatsoever um
[00:22:10] some of your shitty bosses have had better leadership skills yeah that makes me laugh
[00:22:16] because they were not good right yeah so that's not a compliment to God
[00:22:21] the
[00:22:24] says the Lord of hosts the children of Israel were oppressed along with the children of Judah
[00:22:30] all who took them captive have held them fast they have refused to let them go
[00:22:36] that is what the word captive means I'm glad God knows this right yeah their redeemer is strong
[00:22:43] the Lord of hosts is his name did you in case we forgot it's like God's walking around going
[00:22:49] hey hey have you heard about this really cool guy his name is God he's so cool have you heard
[00:22:55] about him you oh oh it's me and you would think that if he was as powerful a being as he claims he is
[00:23:01] there will be no need to mention your name as often as he does to start a sentence you know
[00:23:05] like every fucking sentence he starts me the Lord of hosts the God of gods the whatever the
[00:23:11] fuck I am you know I'm the best in the best in the best best like okay dude we get it yes
[00:23:16] you have a big dick here the winner he will thoroughly plead their case he being me because
[00:23:22] I'm awesome yeah that he may give rest to the land and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon
[00:23:28] now keep in mind we did say Jeremiah's name at the beginning of this chapter so it could be
[00:23:32] Jeremiah relaying this message here so okay I'm just saying you know I'm trying to give
[00:23:38] some credit to you know the possible way that is being said the whole thing is stupid and
[00:23:43] I hate it I know that's all yeah a sword is against the Chaldean says the Lord against the
[00:23:48] inhabitants of Babylon and against her princes and her wise men a sword is against the soothsayers
[00:23:55] and they will be fools a sword is against her mighty men and they will be dismayed okay a
[00:24:02] sword is against their horses against their chariots and against all the mixed peoples
[00:24:07] who are in her midst they will become like women oh my god you know how women be you don't want to
[00:24:15] be like women cool a sword is against her treasures and they will be robbed oh no okay a drought
[00:24:26] is against her waters and they will be dried up because that's what drought means right for it
[00:24:32] is the land of carved images and they are insane with their idols it sounds like you are insane
[00:24:39] with jealousy yeah yeah therefore the wild desert beast shall dwell there with the jackals and the
[00:24:47] ostriches shall dwell in it who ostriches I didn't think that's the first time I mentioned them
[00:24:52] yeah I didn't even know that was a bible creature right yeah we should we should keep track like
[00:24:56] a tally of all the different animals they mentioned right yeah I kind of I know there's
[00:25:00] some weird ones that are still coming up so I kind of like the ostrich because their legs are
[00:25:04] stupid right yeah it shall be inhabited no more forever nor shall it be dwelt in from generation
[00:25:11] to generation I think people live there yeah yeah as god overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their
[00:25:19] neighbors says the lord member that land I do remember it we just talked about it again
[00:25:25] yeah I mispronounced it yes Sodom instead of Sodom so no one shall reside there nor son of man dwell
[00:25:34] in it behold a people shall come from the north and a great nation and many kings shall be raised up
[00:25:40] from the ends of the earth they shall hold hold hold hold they shall hold the bow or bow
[00:25:52] yes the bow the bow they shall hold I'm having a dyslexia or something moment where I'm like
[00:25:59] what is worse shoot a bow a ship has a bow okay I'm just you know I know how to help you with that one
[00:26:07] but also a tree has a bow and when the bow breaks the baby falls down which I never understood
[00:26:13] that song why would you put a baby in a tree because it's it's like the original um
[00:26:18] you know how they have those machines that rock your baby for you you know if you find the right
[00:26:23] branch and the wind's blowing just right you could have like a it's like a rocking machine
[00:26:26] only like natural you know I'm gonna say no I would never put my baby in a tree but you never had to
[00:26:31] live 2000 years ago I would not put my baby in a tree I'm just saying you can't know until you're
[00:26:37] in that place in that time you just don't know how things are back then and how the world is and
[00:26:42] how things happen so okay you're right I'm just saying I probably would put my baby in a tree and the
[00:26:48] bow would probably break right baby probably would fall cradle and all yeah that's probably what
[00:26:54] happened anyway they shall hold the bow I mean they did write a whole song about it so they did
[00:27:01] you know I'm just you know so it had to have been a thing and the lance yeah the bow and the
[00:27:07] kind of like that's why God's real because they wrote a whole book about him right therefore
[00:27:12] they are cruel and shall not show mercy their voice shall roar like the sea they shall ride on
[00:27:19] horses these random northern people that are gonna take over things from that okay set in array like
[00:27:26] a man for the battle against you oh daughter of Babylon fucking Babylon right the king of
[00:27:34] Babylon has heard the report about them and his hands grow feeble look at those feeble hands kind of
[00:27:41] like trump hands you don't want feeble trump hands right right anguish has taken hold of him pangs as
[00:27:48] of as of a woman in labor a childbirth yes childbirth yeah yes that is they use them interchangeably
[00:27:55] right so you never know which one they're gonna say yeah but yes that woman mm-hmm behold he shall
[00:28:01] come up like a lion from the blood plain flood plain flood plain holy shit sorry i'm having a hard time
[00:28:10] with words all the letters have to start writing out your words phonetically for you or something
[00:28:18] you're being so mean I still read better than you do oh yeah no I I mean I can't I can't read
[00:28:24] out loud very well at all no you cannot I can read just fine no yeah you know out loud as a whole
[00:28:30] of the thing it's a whole different barrel if you dig deep enough you can find an instance of that in
[00:28:36] our podcast mm-hmm I'm not even gonna give any other hints to that but it does exist it wasn't that long
[00:28:41] ago it was it was a few years ago oh okay yeah but it was terrible it was bad it was all right
[00:28:48] but we left it up because you know that's how we do things that's how we do yeah we leave the
[00:28:52] bad up with the good yeah so that you see us for all of our sucky and authenticity and mostly
[00:28:59] just mediocre you know right on through yeah mostly mediocre like we do mediocre real fucking well
[00:29:05] we're like the best mediocre fuckers on the planet what's a mediocre fucker I don't us apparently
[00:29:11] I don't know beholdy shall come up like a lion from the flood plain of the Jordan against
[00:29:20] the dwelling place of the strong but I will make them suddenly run away from her and who
[00:29:26] was a chosen man that I may appoint over her for who is like me uh uh who's like me
[00:29:33] who will arraign me I don't know I mean who could arraign God right right and who is that
[00:29:40] shepherd who will withstand me I'm the best I'm awesome he's always alluded to like the line of
[00:29:47] David so I'm assuming that we're gonna get back to that at some point he's just like
[00:29:51] what you're gonna do about it who's gonna stop me right I'm the biggest baddest badass yeah
[00:29:57] therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that he has taken against Babylon and his purposes that he
[00:30:05] has proposed against the land of the Chaudians surely the least of the flock shall draw them out
[00:30:13] surely he will make their dwelling place desolate with them don't call me surely
[00:30:20] at the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles and the cry is heard among the nations
[00:30:27] the end okay all right you heard it here for some random northern tribe is gonna is gonna take over
[00:30:34] Babylon at some point probably 70 years down the road because that's what they told us earlier
[00:30:38] it's gonna be 70 years of captivity at least so it's gonna be a while but that's that's apparently
[00:30:44] gonna happen I mean according to the Bible did it happen I have no idea I have no idea
[00:30:50] I mean you know what furthermore I don't really give a shit no I don't either it if it did happen
[00:30:56] like it's saying it happened I almost have to believe that this was like written post right
[00:31:03] that happening because whatever it's just this this whole thing's silly it's so silly yeah it
[00:31:10] just strikes me as why are we doing this again you know what I we started off Jeremiah with hope
[00:31:19] like it started off with some good there was some good story you know yeah it was a good story
[00:31:24] and then it just kept repeating itself and repeating itself and then they tacked on these
[00:31:28] like 10 chapters at the end that are just trash just utter trash I mean this they're back you know what
[00:31:35] this chapter as much as it sucks is or this book I should say yeah as much as it sucks it's still
[00:31:40] better than Isaiah was yeah and that's saying something because I really suck it's definitely
[00:31:46] losing some some traction for me here in this last bit yeah so like I'm not not feeling this at
[00:31:53] yeah you came in like a lion and went out like a lamb yeah that right how they do that right
[00:32:01] yeah you come in you know I mean go either way so March either comes in with like a lion
[00:32:06] and out like a lamb or in like a lamb and out like a lion oh it's both ways yeah if it comes in the
[00:32:12] one way it's going to go out the other way oh yeah I did not know that right I thought it was
[00:32:18] I didn't know that it is yeah that's interesting okay so anyway that was Jeremiah chapter 50
[00:32:26] sure as fuck was which this week is a little weird because we won't be back tomorrow right and
[00:32:34] then we will probably be back on Sunday with a right and then on Monday we will be back with
