Deuteronomy 28:43

The Message

The foreigner who lives among you will climb the ladder, higher and higher, while you go deeper and deeper into the hole. He’ll lend to you; you won’t lend to him. He’ll be the head; you’ll be the tail.

Is he out to lunch?” Go public and show the godless world that they can’t kill your servants and get by with it.
