Psalm 109: "Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth."

109 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

but I also detected a level of sadness, seriousness, and surrender. Below it was suggested that it might be Ivanka who tested positive.

I posted about it at the time, "It wasn't all put upon or an act to make him look good. He sounded like a regular person. I think he had a serious wake-up call. He either has the virus or is very spooked by a close call with it."

I actually do pray for him occasionally. I would like his heart to be opened and for him to have even the slightest bit of compassion for someone else. Anyone any amount. But alas he is so selfish and mean it can't happen. Really ticks me off when he "prays" with the phoney evangelicals.

she was reportedly "working from home" yesterday after it was revealed she met with the Australian president last week who tested positive. So there is possibility she has tested and could possibly have symptoms.
