5:1 Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.
Genesis 11:3-4
11:3 Then they said to one another,
“Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.”
(They had brick instead of stone and tar
instead of mortar.)
11:4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens
so that
we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise
we will be scattered
across the face of the entire earth.”
Genesis 11:7
11:7 Come, let’s go down and confuse
their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.”
Ecclesiastes 2:1
Futility of Self-Indulgent Pleasure
I thought to myself,
2:1 “Come now, I will try self-indulgent pleasure to see if it is worthwhile.”
But I found that it also is futile.
Isaiah 5:5
5:5 Now I will inform you
what I am about to do to my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture,
I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there.
