foreign it wasn't an unusual test for the generation of Jeremiah just like it's not an unusual test for this generation it's the test it's the point the point is Hashem says in this week's I give you the blessing and the curse why didn't he say the blessing or the curse why is this the blessing and the curse should be blessing or the curse no I do good good I don't do good no good right should be and or right he says no no no it's the blessing and the curse because package deal you sign up with Hashem you come to this world it's package deal meaning you do good you get good you do bad it's guaranteed you'll get bad there's no side deals there's no you connect to Hashem in your own unusual charismatic way because some guiding players told you it's okay there's no leniency to be a heretic there's no leniency so the generation of Jeremiah they knew the truth they saw miracles on a day-to-day basis but they said you know we see Hashem we're comfortable with Hashem we believe in Hashem but we also believe in a few other things maybe Hashem can wait for us a little bit Hashem says I gave you signs I gave you wonders I gave upon USA I gave you everything you wanted and you used it like a sword that stabbed me it says in his level it wasn't written in the midrash wouldn't be allowed to say it in his level Hashem says you sinned against me you were like you were like a bad neighbor why says what is it like the midrash says it's like someone a king says I want a sword I want a present and he became a king so some guy says okay you know what I'm gonna honor the king what does he do with the guy sells his house sells the business sells the car the boat and everything else what to buy the king a beautiful sword he gives it to the king he's the president I sold everything to give you a present give you everything so present the king says okay chop his head off with the sword chop his head off with the sword so hazal explained what does this mean this is this is an unusual analogy especially the tight relationship how could it be so Ghazal explains is that Hashem in the verse that you said that I'm going to die you use the word hen but I blessed you with that same word there was some other verse in a Torah where I use the same word hen to bless you they used in one of the verses that he blessed Hashem I use the same word and I blessed you but you are saying I'm gonna die was going to die there's also in that verse is also the word him says you only remember the good what about when you sinned with the word hen he's like I don't remember ah you don't remember when you said hen day Army said is not going to listen to me so why don't you give me some proofs I could show it to them when I first sent you Tommy's saying to go save them take them out of Egypt their slaves me skinny they're injured there's this there it is she said no they're not going to believe me they're not going to believe me oh when you spoke against my children you sinned so you don't remember that though huh he says this is the tight relationship between moshebenu and Hashem something like this is not even a sin was different different might as well be a different species so what is Hazard teaching us from here he says we also like all of us why Hashem what does he do he gives you upon a sock gives you upon the son Isaac gives you eyes legs it gives you legs heady gives you a head wife husband children car how whatever you are he gives you whatever you I gave you you're here today he gave you your daughter too what do we do when we give him something we want to give a present back want to give him a search what do we do we do let's do it feeling today let's do three lane today why don't we do three lane 11 30. let's do three lean 11 30. let's do mean but let me look at my phone first let me eat kosher but only you know in the house let me give Saka but uh you know let me give it Kai 18 give MIT 440. it's better Kai means alive math is dead give met 240 at least the guy made five thousand ten thousand last month he gives 18 he says it's a bad neighbor why I gave you the money I give you that feeling I give you the mouth to speak and bless me what do you do you're looking at your phone you do feeling at 11 30. you do just catch much just to get out of the Java like you're doing me a favor your mitsva that's the key talk against you that's the key to look against you that's the key through against you why you Mitzvah is nothing what is it you gave me you gave me a sword you're gonna stab me with it that's the present you give me you didn't give me a present you're like do me a favor like I need your mitzvah you know what you're talking about foreign [Music]
