WATCHING THE DROOLING IDIOT who rules the United States and who our idiot Constitution keeps in office as he rushes us headlong into total disaster, I thought of this passage from what I grew up with calling The Book of Wisdom, more widely known as Sirach, these days.
5 Whoever loves gold won’t be declared just,
and whoever pursues profits
will be led astray by them.
6 Many have been ruined because of gold,
and their destruction has met them head-on.
7 It’s a stumbling block for those
who are possessed by it,
and it will take
every senseless person captive.
and whoever pursues profits
will be led astray by them.
6 Many have been ruined because of gold,
and their destruction has met them head-on.
7 It’s a stumbling block for those
who are possessed by it,
and it will take
every senseless person captive.
Sirach 31:5-7 Common English Bible
It's not a perfect work but it's got its moments. This is one of those.
