Punishments for Sin 

Leviticus 20: 9 -

'If anyone curses his father or mother he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother and his blood will be on his own head. 

'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife - with the wife of his neighbour - both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. 

'If a man sleeps with his father's wife, he has dishonoured his father. Both the man and the woman must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. 

'If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads. 

'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. Their blood will be on their own heads. 

'If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is wicked. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no wickedness will be among you. 

'If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal. 

'If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.' 

.  .  .  

'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.' 


Everything is Meaningless 

Ecclesiastes 1: 1 -

The words of the Teacher, son of David, king of Jerusalem:

'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher. 'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.' 

Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Naked a man, comes from his mother's womb, and as he comes, so he departs. 

I said: 'I am determined to be wise' - but this was beyond me.
