Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off. It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, “Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil.” Their wealth will become a plunder, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won’t inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won’t drink their wine. The great day of Yahweh is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of Yahweh. The mighty man cries there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements. I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yahweh, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

#readmethebiblegarth now includes a new recording of the whole book of Jonah 1-4, in Hebrew with translation, and in the Lawful Literal Version, here: https://youtube.com/playlist?l....ist=PLvpqSEOjm625MyT
The Hebrew for 2022 recordings demonstrate the Grenache tonal reading method for the Hebrew text which brings out the meaningful divisions of verses, according to semantic meaning of the cantillation marks found in the Masoretic text.
Thought for Today: Shabbat December 25:
Go to YHVH with a thankful heart, so that you can enjoy His Presence. This is the day that Adonai has made. He wants you to enjoy today, refusing to worry about tomorrow. Search for all He has prepared for you, anticipating abundance blessings and accepting difficulties as they come. He can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on Him. Go to and talk to Him with all your needs, knowing that His Glorious Riches are a more-than-adequate supply. Stay in continual communication with Him, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them. Present your requests to Him with thanksgiving and His Peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind.

We are now under the control of a faucist government who has been marching across the world without resistance. So far there is no country that has not yet fallen to the leaders of the party. They encourage fear lest someone stand and loose their freedom. They also encourage patriotic pride in the new Government by wearing a mask and getting the jab. If you do not do these things you are a danger to the regime and they encourage all those who see you to mock you for refusing to be patriotic to the cause of great freedom and the Nutsy party.
