From Psalms
Posted in cross stitch on 10/20/2009 08:59 pm by adminCan anyone help me with this verse from Psalms?
Psalms 137:8-9 - “0 daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”
In this verse is God requiring child sacrifice via stoning or bludgeoning? I'm really not sure. Thanks for your help.
Sounds like the writer assumes that people who smash their children against rocks will be happy. Now that to me, is a little weird.
