Vengeance Beyond Justice (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 second couplet of his poem, where he tells his wives why they had better listen to him.Music Credit: J. S.
