The AbysSec line of secure storage was locally made in the United Eastquad Block, one of their top end portable and secure devices, mainly produced for high level executives and government officials. The divine perfection of the river and the sea - whose tides and movements were both unknowably chaotic and yet calculably predicted formed the core of their security. By incorporating the metaphysical supremacy of their system into the generation and delivery of secure encryption codes, they were both difficult to hack electronically, and enjoyed divine protection from the organized system of the UEB.

These executive level devices included other secure measures, such a being keyed into the pulse and blood flow of the holder, geolocation embedded inside the metal using a zero power copper antenna, self destructive tamper resistance, and an option to twin code security, preventing access without the two individuals registered to the system.

It was not protected from Loren and Doc, wandering through the Citadel to file forms, colliding with Sandy Lawson on his lunch break, profusely apologizing, and returning the case to to its owner after Doc surreptitiously taped packs of weaponized pollen onto it using a sticker that matched the leather. The packets were filled up with an extra-concentrated dose of the weaponized pollen which Sy had derived from the plants growing throughout Genghis Khan, and was infused with a minute degree of system entanglement between Sy and GK. The more the pollen spread, the clearer the shape of the Citadel became.

"I'd love to plant something in the case," Loren had explained, while they worked out their plan. "But it's a lot easier to hack the outside than crack the inside."

"That's why the Paperclip is like that," Nguyen added, looking a bit proud. "If you can't open it, take the whole moutain. Uh metaphorically speaking, no offense."

"None taken," GK replied. "The removal of mountains is more readily within my capabilities than yours."

"Right."

"Okay," Laika said. "So the Oxswain banking stuff removes Lawson for a day at least." She poked at the old sewer plans and Citadel architecture. "And then you guys use the HVAC to deliver more of the death spores-"

"Pollen," Sy reminded them, on the way back to get more cuttings. "Pollen which has had time to incorporate some of the unique organization of GK's system-"

"Structure."

"Potato whatever. And it also has some of mine. It means we can lay in a small added emotional punch on addition to the general effects, which aren't pleasant."

'Fine, but okay, we need to handle Dowers next," Laika said.

"He won't want to leave," Loren said.

● ● ● ● ●

The cops shoved Laika into one of several crowded holding cells after taking her belt, her boots, and her com. The cheap screen, low quality crystal, had flickered and died it was ripped off. In the cell, she sat on the floor with her back against the bars. They were white and made of a silver alloy. A woman with a slash of dark hair on her head and bad bruises across the left half of her cheek muttered "bottom feeders" at the departing officers.

Laika couldn't tell who was from Oxswain. They would be all over now, raising protests, causing problems, setting fires, trying to ralley anyone who would listen to a freedom call. It wasn't doing a lot, mostly getting the other werewolves arrested, thrown in jail, keeping police busy, creating so much chaos that Sy, Ngyuen, Doc, and Loren weren't noticed even when they walked right under the citadel and dumped bags full of pollen into the giant basement air filters.

They walked on while a different cop, sniffling and holding back a cough, motioned Laika out of the cell. She wound up in a very small, very cramped room, with no windows, where her white banded wrists were cuffed with silver onto a table with multiple blessings against false testimony imprinted on the surface. It was not an area the local system of UEB was highly compatible with, and the wards were largely useless.

Waiting for her, back against one wall, all messy hair and sweat stains, was acting security director Matt Dowers. He kept straightening out of a slouch, a kind of perpetual posthole digger of a man, his eyes boring into Laika. His nose was running profusely. "Laika Blackwood," he said. "You don't merit this."

She scratched the inside of her wrists against the cuffs, irritated. The redeye camera glared at them both. "I don't, you're right. Can I go?"

Dowers took a cellophane pack of tissues from his breast pocket and snuffled his nose, scratched his arm to angry red. "You're from here. Common mongrel murderer. You're not foreign like the others. I'm good at patters, Blackwood. Why are you here, why don't you fit?"

The cuffs wouldn't let her lean back smugly. "Don't you know, all werewolves know each other?" Sy's pollen was working wonders and she sneezed, making the table scrape a bit. Dowers twitched.

"Don't think you're fooling anyone," Blackwood. "I know what you're planning. Use the chaos to smuggle in more foreign agents. Infect our citizens, poison our water."

"You're nuts," she smirked. "You think I'm in here by mistake? Feeling sick?" Laika noticed the dermal patch on her wrist and come partway off, its thin little ceramic data talismans glinted in the light. Dowers might spot them easily. "You don't know how deep this goes," she growled, as the muscles in her arms bulged despite her bands. Her jaws slammed together into the small crystal tucked behind her molars and her moutn filled with metalic tang. It was now or never.

Heaving up the entire table, she crashed into Dowers with it, and the man screamed. The pain hammered her just as her teeth were growing. Laika had been shot or stabbed or exploded in most of her major organs by this point, and it wasn't her favorite thing, but feeling as if she was getting shot in all of them at once was worse.

Colors flashed around her eyes and she fell back, table and Dowers and all sending her into the little chair, smashing through it under their weight to the cheap linoleum floor. He peered over the edge but Laika was still.

It took some work in the small room to disentangle himself from the table and Laika's legs. She didn't move and Dowers felt brave enough to check her pulse. His hand found the dermal patch instead.

Elsewhere, the chief science security officer Dove Witherton was following up on the black powder from Lawson's briefcase. While the toxicology and poisons specialists were still conducting further tests, it was just moments before Witherton would learn the substance appeared to be a dangerous toxin, with early symptons including itchiness and runny nose, followed by more serious blistering, vomiting, and possibly death. It wouldn't be the most upsetting part of his day by any measure.

Part 7: The Tower

a story by @rox-and-prose and @cipheramnesia

Dusk turned the Nevamil sky a flat aquamarine, and made visible the red lights blinking atop the Citadel. It was the tallest building in the capital city, Aureodar, even visible from the far off gridded streets of old houses converted into apartments. The last time Laika had seen it was a field trip for school.

The little blue Kirov was somewhere between the mountains and Genghis Khan and the most anonymous hopper port they'd been able to find in Aureodar. She worried about Sy, seemed ages past she'd been this physically far, though it was hardly more than weeks. Wires and talismans crossed over the streets, bikes and busses swooshed wet pavement, and linecars screeched overhead, all wrapped around her and her backpack and familiar unknown faces of the United Eastquad Block.

Ghosts gathered around her, whispering. You keep coming back here little wolf girl, you'll never get away from this place. Little wolf girl, you know you belong here. Freak. Queer. Sissy. Killer. Monster. You thought you were better than us, you never were. Laika let them needle and claw her. They were her ghosts, not the other way round. Every horrible word only built her up. Luna was with her in that way.

Most of the houses on K Street were mods, from early to late first century post-terraform. They were all retrofited from the original single family modules, but they were tough as nails, old construction built to weather thr storms of atmosphere generation. Number 1132 was where she was headed, lights were still on in the third floor windows.

Laika took a last look around on the front door's stoop. The poles for street lights and warden ropes all had at least three CCTV cameras and arrayed parabolic empathy receivers tuned into psychic conflict between morality and legality. She flashed a tight little smile at the familiar old glass eye of the state before pulling a short crowbar out of her bag and cracking the door open.

The third floor smelled of some sharp, fragrant allium along with sweet woody flavors and cooking meat, enough to rouse her stomach. Deep breath, ignore the ghosts, knock. A woman with her black hair in a bob cut, rolled up sleeves on her billowy dress, a little sweaty and confused, almost a quarter meter shorter than Laika. A wave of gaming sounds, net music, and oven warmth joined them both on the landing.

"Hey Tara," Laika said.

The other woman looked closer. "Laika? Oh tides, it is!" She wrapped Laika up in a big soft hug inside thick arms, crushing her stick body. "I thought you, I don't know, I thought you were dead! I mean, there were rumors?"

"Uff! Uh, hey. Sorry to be like, unannounced. Is it okay if I come in?" Laika hesitantly patted Tara's shoulders until the hug relaxed and her feet were back on the floor.

"You just have to, please. I'm sorry, when did you get back, why didn't you call?"

Unlacing her boots and slipping them off, she said, "I just got back today, um. I've been a bit off the net you know." She dipped her hand in the tiny basin by the door and thumbed a drop of water on the polished river stone at the altar. "But I wanted to see how you'd been, I guess. It just, well it's weird. That smells amazing."

She saw a couple kids blasting through uncreatively humanoid aliens, loudly and luridly across the living room screen, followed Tara into the kitchen and dinette area and watched her stir around sizzling veggies and meat in a wide dish. "Thanks," Tara said. "The spawn over there don't always appreciate it, but you know how... well, how kids can be..." Tara frowned awkwardly.

"Yeah, uh. Yeah." Laika rubbed the back of her neck. "So what all have you heard?"

Tara stuttered with a little embarassment. In the distance Laika could very faintly hear sirens, but she knew they weren't for her. The people who would come for her didn't use sirens or advertise their presence.

Half paying attention to Tara, she added, "Well, uh, some is true. But... you knew it was bad at home. Stuff happened. What about you though? Like, two kids? Wow!"

Tara probably was relieved at the change of topic, and Laika was glad to take a minute, but she couldn't focus all the way. She was waiting.

Arshin Adib-Moghaddam’s Psycho-Nationalism

❍❍❍

Beyond the tremendous amount of media generated around Iran, and aside from Trump's maximum pressure policy, white America’s Muslim ban, and the Coronovirtus pandemic, Iran has been making headlines internationally more than most other nations in the Middle East in 2020. Amid one of the biggest modern pandemics, economists demand Trump to immediately lift the sanctions against Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela, so these countries are able to get Medical supplies to their peoples. (1) These are sanctions that some politicians describe as “economic terrorism”. While Iran is one of the major countries hit by COIVD19, the Trump administration seems to be weaponizing the Coronavirus against Iran. (2)

Similar to every other nation-state on earth, Iran is also not bulletproof against nationalism. Yet, it is not only nationalism that Adib-Moghaddam is interested to talk about in this book, but its the type of state-generated nationalism that he is interested in. He introduces the term “Psycho-nationalism” in order to connect the Iranian identity to its complications in the global context.

The language of the book is quite academic and neutral. The idea of Psycho-nationalism between the two periods of pre- and post- Islamic Revolution might sound very identical to an external reader not familiar with the culture and history of Iran. The external reader will most likely assume that currently there is an Iranian nationalism “continuing” from the nationalism that existed during the Shah era. However, to a person living in Iran, the comparison of nationalism in pre- and post- revolution Iran might seem like comparing apples and oranges. There is also a mild differentiation between the anti-colonialism of Mohammad Mosaddegh, with that of Ayatollah Khomeini’s. This comparison seems to be oppositional rather than a gradual continuation.

Ayatollah Khomeini

Adib-Moghaddam emphasizes on the concept of Velayat-e-Faqih (ولایت فقیه) or Supreme Jurisprudence. Reading through the book you might find out that Velayat-e-Faqih is a big deal for the whole concept of Psycho-nationalism. It shows itself the best at the heart of the book in chapter 2 “International Hubris: Kings of Kings and Vicegerents of God”. Adib-Moghaddam has already worked on Khomeini’s intellectual and revolutionary work, on a previous book: A Critical Introduction to Khomeini.

(Page 50)

The trajectory of Iranian postcolonial Nationalism

Maybe It would have been much easier to read and understand the particular nationalism that Adib-Moghaddam is trying to elucidate regarding Iran if he would have articulated it from a subjective point. I would love to read an anti-imperialist work in this area, especially when it comes from a non-majority Persian (فارس) Iranian. Although there have been a few good works on Iranian Nationalism from different positionalities, such as Iranian-Afghanistani, Afro-Iranian, Kurdish-Iranian, transgender Iranian, etc.. However, Adib-Moghaddam’s academic task requires him to talk about the issue in a “universal” academic (objective) way.

Part of the idea is that Iranian identity continues to exist even without the nation-state or outside of it. Regarding this, at least, by now we should have already learned from the indigenous peoples of the world, that peoples and nations exist even without the nation-state. In future, I would like to read more of his work especially if it analysis Iranian nationalism or “Iranian white supremacy complex” (’Iran = land of Aryans’, and ‘Iranian = Persian/فارس’)

The book seems to be written for the non-Iranian and maybe Western audiences. Exhibiting the notion of Psycho-nationalism before and after the Islamic revolution, Adib-Moghaddam is scratching the surface of nationality and religion from an Iranian perspective. He is also preoccupied with the “meaning of Iran” or “Iranian identity”, which is equivalently associated with the idea of Psycho-nationalism. Yet, from my personal experience of growing up in Iran until the end of my public education, I remember the absence of such questions in Iranian public discourse. It is a type of question, that is desired by numerous Persian-Iranian youths inside Iran.

On page fifteen, he is talking about the Iranian superiority/racial purity complex common in pre-revolutionary politics, yet he seems to be a bit too pedagogical to bring in Western writers such as Freud and Hobsbawm to connect with his point.

(Page 15)

I am not sure if Adib-Moghaddam is bringing down the Islamic Republic to the level of Shah’s nationalism to disregard its revolutionary aspects, or if he is presenting post-revolution Iran as a new form of nationalist state? Hassan Taghizadeh is a good example here. Taqizadeh was the most influential person in Iran who supported the interests of the German Empire against Russia and Britain between the two World Wars. So he was part of the severe Westernization process that accrued in Iran during the time of Reza Shah. He identified Shahnameh as the source of purified national pride and consciousness. Adib-Moghaddam appoints Taghizadeh as a Psycho-nationalist.

(Iranian nomad women forced to wear Western clothes during the Westernization process under Reza Shah’a Kashf-e hijab, source chamedanmag)

Adib-Moghaddam is also employing a series of academic vocabularies such as “Politics of Identity”, which doesn’t decenter the dominant canon. However, Adib-Moghaddam knows that talking about nationalism in a universalist (objective) way would result in further conversations about history in an analytic and nationalist way.

What I have enjoyed the most about the book is the amazing articulations of Adib-Moghaddam regarding theories of sovereignty and what legitimizes a sovereign power. In my view, page 51-55 are the most important part of the book where it focuses on the history of Iranian Westernization during the Pahlavi era, which created a white-supremacist complex in the Iranian psyche and ultimately paved the way for the Islamic Revolution of 1979. This Iranian White Supremacist complex still carries on today in many different oppositional groups such as the monarchists, MEK, and Iranian Renaissance.

There is another important point in this section, which I believe is central to Adib-Moghaddam’s theory of Psycho-nationalism. On page 51, he argues (in regard to the post-revolution Iran) that in order to legitimize your self-designation claim as the regional/global Islamic power, you need the international recognition through a series of events and campaigns. Current Iranian revolutionaries express solidarity with all anti-imperialist activism around the world. Adib-Moghaddam skillfully brings the example of street names in Tehran. If you live in Tehran, you might come across a few streets that are named after white anti-colonial activists such as Bobby Sands, or Rachel Aliene Corrie.

The only time the book mentions Edward Said is on page 74, where there is a vivid example of Orientalism by the liberal white English politician Thomas Babington Macaulay. Lord Macaulay was a racist academic and educator. There is a quote from Macaulay, in which he argues: “a single shelf of good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabic”.(1)

There is another clever comparison in the book where he compares two Iranian masculine icons: Rustam and Imam Hossein followed by a comparison of Giuseppe Mazzini and Garibaldi. Towards the end of the book, he mentions the right-wing and white supremacist Iranian nationalism, which is to some degree an Orientalist creation. As an example, Adib-Moghaddam uses Arthur de Gobineau and Ernest Renan. They both said at some point that Persians (Iran’s ethnic majority) are racially superior to Arabs and other Semitic people due to their Indo-European heritage. (2)

USA vs. Mexico live score, updates, highlights from CONCACAF Nations League final

It has been nearly two years since we had a USA vs. Mexico that counts. One of the best rivalries in global soccer will be renewed in the inaugural CONCACAF Nations League final in Denver on Sunday (9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT).

The USMNT and El Tri have battled for regional supremacy for years and they’ve regularly faced off in a number of championship matches. Mexico has claimed the large majority of those finals (the USA won the Gold Cup in 2007), and El Tri will once again be the favorite, albeit a slight one, at Empower Field.

Both countries will have their first-choice lineups available for this one and both will be led by a new generation of young stars, including Christian Pulisic (USA), Gio Reyna (USA), Hirving “Chucky” Lozano (Mexico) and Diego Lainez (Mexico). Those players labored to get past their respective Nations League semifinals on Thursday, but their struggles will be long forgotten by the time they line up across one another in Sunday’s final.

WATCH: USA vs. Mexico streaming live on fuboTV (7-day free trial)

The Nations League was launched in 2019 to provide a meaningful competition for the 41 countries in the CONCACAF region between FIFA World Cup qualifying and the biennial Gold Cup tournament. The winner will claim a trophy and the title of best team in CONCACAF. Until the next time they meet, of course.

Sporting News will provide live updates and highlights from USA vs. Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final. Follow along below.

USA vs. Mexico live score

1H 2H Final USA 0 – – Mexico 1 – –

Goals: MEX: Jesus “Tecatito” Corona – 2nd min.

USA vs. Mexico updates and highlights

21st min.: U.S. fans booing because they wanted a penalty called for a challenge on Gio Reyna in the box. USMNT seems to be gaining momentum.

19th min.: And right on cue, both Pulisic and Reyna get on the ball near the Mexico box, but El Tri defenders block and clear the danger.

18th min.: We’re almost 20 minutes in and Pulisic and Reyna haven’t been much of a factor.

14th min.: Sloppy start by the USA. They’ve had another giveaway in their own end and Zack Steffen just kicked the ball straight out of play on a ball intended for Yedlin.

12th min.: Long ball by Mexico center back Hector Moreno for Chucky Lozano in the box and he almost got to the ball. He would’ve been in on goal. Mexican fans with the early “Ole” chants when Mexican players are knocking the ball around.

10th min.: Early yellow for John Brooks for a foul on Chucky Lozano from behind. He just ran him over. Referee looking to set the tone.

7th min.: The early goal by Mexico weirdly seems to have taken a bit of steam out of the game and the crowd. Both teams feeling each other out now.

4th min.: First shot for the USA. Josh Sargent from the right side of the box blasts the ball into Mexico GK Ochoa. Wasn’t the cleanest of shots.

3rd min.: McKenzie, who has played well for the USA in recent matches, was way too casual with that pass and he was not expecting that kind of pressure from Mexico.

2nd min.: Goal! Tecatito Corona picks off Mark McKenzie’s pass inside the box and he roofs the ball. 1-0 Mexico.

1st min.: And we’re off! Stadium is rocking. This is gonna be a fun one.

9:30 p.m. ET: Time for national anthems. Mexico and then USA.

9:17 p.m. ET: This three-man attacking front for Mexico is going to be tricky for John Brooks and Tim Ream to keep up with for pace:

Chucky as a false 9, Antuna (vertical), Tecatito (1v1

), Gallardo (stronger defender) instead of Areaga, Charlie, Edson, HH

in the middle ..

El Tri looking for more balance, less transition (but they still have speed)… #FutbolAmericas https://t.co/3twUGaY90y

9:11 p.m. ET: More scenes from the stadium:

9:10 p.m. ET: Latest weather report from Denver:

Psalm 45

Ode for a Royal Wedding

To the leader: according to Lilies. Of the Korahites. A Maskil. A love song.

1 My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.

2 You are the most handsome of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever. 3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your glory and majesty.

4 In your majesty ride on victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend[a] the right; let your right hand teach you dread deeds. 5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; the peoples fall under you.

6 Your throne, O God,[b] endures forever and ever. Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity; 7 you love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions; 8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; 9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house, 11 and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him; 12 the people[c] of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people 13 with all kinds of wealth.

The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;[d] 14 in many-colored robes she is led to the king; behind her the virgins, her companions, follow. 15 With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.

16 In the place of ancestors you, O king,[e] shall have sons; you will make them princes in all the earth. 17 I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

A Song. A Psalm of the Korahites.

1 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain, 2 beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. 3 Within its citadels God has shown himself a sure defense.

4 Then the kings assembled, they came on together. 5 As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they were in panic, they took to flight; 6 trembling took hold of them there, pains as of a woman in labor, 7 as when an east wind shatters the ships of Tarshish. 8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God, which God establishes forever.Selah

9 We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple. 10 Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with victory. 11 Let Mount Zion be glad, let the towns[b] of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

12 Walk about Zion, go all around it, count its towers, 13 consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels, that you may tell the next generation 14 that this is God, our God forever and ever. He will be our guide forever.

Wisdom 3:1-9

The Destiny of the Righteous

3 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. 2 In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be a disaster, 3 and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. 4 For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. 5 Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; 6 like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. 7 In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. 8 They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever. 9 Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect.[a]

Colossians 1:15-23

The Supremacy of Christ

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in[a] him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He himself is before all things, and in[b] him all things hold together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled[c] in his fleshly body[d] through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him— 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel.

Luke 6:12-26

Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles

12 Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God. 13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, 16 and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Jesus Teaches and Heals

17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. 18 They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all in the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them.

Blessings and Woes

20 Then he looked up at his disciples and said:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22 “Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you[a] on account of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.

24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. “Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.

26 “Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
