“Make no attempt to leave, thirst and mull over your spoiled gruel and keep it all for yourself, regardless of how much worse another’s condition is: for this night is full of sinful revelry to our Lord the devil: make every effort to feel sorry for yourself; for the misery and disappointment of the devil…

The Danger in Trying to Bribe Your Spiritual Enemy
Israel was at a moral and spiritual low, having split into two kingdoms years earlier, with Judah in the south. Menahem, the current king, feared losing his position, though he hadn’t been chosen by the people. Instead, he killed the previous king, who ruled just a month, and took his place. His cruelty is clear…

If an anti-Bible was ever written, it would probably render Psalm 23 like this. Sounds depressing and rather dreadful, doesn’t it?
