All over the place, what you're going to see is caution, wet floor.

Because let me tell you something, there is a slippery floor on this globe that you and I are living in.

I need somebody to say if that's true or not.

There's a slippery floor here, and we're trying to walk on it.

Listen, when it talks about the arrogant, I want you to go there with him, because you can picture this.

In 9 and 10, when it says, they set their mouths against heaven and their tongues strut across the earth.

It's literally, this is the word picture in the Hebrew that their tongue is just walking, is just strutting through the earth.

They're like lapping it up, lapping it up.

This is what you would call sycophant, and it is a word that means a self-seeking flatterer.

And the picture that it would be, because this is the perfect picture of it,

is when we're just like, when we have celebrities in our lives that we just like adore,

and they can absolutely say no wrong.

I mean, none. We're just going to lap up everything they say and say no wrong. I mean, none.

We're just going to lap up everything they say and everything they do.

This is the picture being painted here.

This is like, like we're just drunk over them.

In our celebrity culture, like whatever they say, whatever they do, oh, we like it, we like it, we like it.

Anybody? Because, I mean, they we like it. Anybody? Anybody?
