TSK · Genesis 11:3

Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.”

They made their lives bitter by hard service with mortar and bricks and by all kinds of service in the fields. Every kind of service the Israelites were required to give was rigorous.

“You must no longer give straw to the people for making bricks as before. Let them go and collect straw for themselves.

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast,“Who will see them?”

Futility of Self-Indulgent Pleasure I thought to myself,“Come now, I will try self-indulgent pleasure to see if it is worthwhile.” But I found that it also is futile.

“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”

These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars.

But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called“Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception.

Come now, you who say,“Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that town and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”
