Claiming Superiority to God (Genesis 4:19, 23, 24)

In Genesis 4:23–24, Lamech uses poetry and music to threaten abuse to his wives and to force them to “love” him. In this devotion, we look at the third (and final) couplet of his poem, where he basically tells his wives they should fear him more than God.Music Credit: J. S.
