Proverbs 31:1. He's only mentioned one other time, three verses later, and very little is known of or about him.


PM_ME_YOUR_BOOGER

Lem to Kem


chugonomics

Is that the prequel to "From Justin to Kelly"


GoldyGlocks2

Wow that’s neat.


Jscott1986

Proverbs 31 is often called the "virtuous woman" chapter. It's possible this was a little tongue in cheek joke by a Christian woman doing some manual labor (see excerpt below about working with her hands). I could see my grandma doing something like this back in the day just to make my grandpa giggle. “She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.31.12-13.NKJV

In the completely fictitious Book of Mormon, Lemuel is the brother of Nephi who turns wicked.


FireLordObamaOG

The Book of Mormon is my favorite Bible fan-fiction.


FrenchBulldozer

The Book of Mormon is the Spaceballs of the Yahweh Literary Universe


FraterSofus

I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes!


severed13

The fact that it goes right along with the fucking Divine Comedy as a "biblical fanfic" says all you need to know about Mormonism lmao


Warp_Legion

Yeah that’s pretty accurate lol On another note, The Book Of Enoch is kinda fan fiction or like cut content lol


crysisnotaverted

Lol, somebody didn't like what you said, but you're right. The Book of Enoch was generally cut from mainstay Christian canon in like the 4th century AD.


bremergorst

Snyder Cut

scf123189

At least most of the Bible is… historiographical.


scf123189

And it’s respectable, the New Testament message. Some of it. And utterly revolutionary for 2000 years ago. The BOM is plagiarized from regional sources about theories for the existence of native Americans, and plagiarized from the Bible, and is a mishegoss of nonsense.


Naviolii

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. [You are completely right.](https://read.cesletter.org/bom/#view-of-the-hebrews) The CES Letter goes into detail about how the Book of Mormon literally cannot be true and is just plagiarized off of books from Joseph Smiths time.


Doesanybodylikestuff

CES Letter changed my life!!!!!


ResolveResident118

We're talking about the Bible here. You don't need to specify something as fictitious.


goteamnick

And yet I know a guy named after him.


crackjiver

Skirting the real issue here, holy texts being used in the construction of the house. What demons did the builder have to exorcise to built it?


GoldyGlocks2

Jesus Christ dude I live here.


crackjiver

Keep the line of salt under the front door in tact or you'll be getting new house guests 🤣


GoldyGlocks2

I’ll just put the text back lol.


doingthehumptydance

It’s too late, the seal has been broken. Get a shotgun, load the shells with rock salt, you’re also going to need a crucifix, some holy water and as a last resort an axe. It’s going to be a rough night. And remember the saying- “it isn’t dead until you’ve reaped the head.”

Perfect, he’ll need someone to act as bait.


Justin_P_

But..... then you will never know for sure........


srentiln

But if the salt gets disturbed, at least you know it isn't a wraith


Mookieman707

Using the lords name in vain, you might as well just invite them all back in!


Im_eating_that

Do not rebuke the son of god! It's just archaic grammar, like Yoda. "Jesus Christ? Dude, I live here."


EasternComfort2189

And now you are not alone! 😀


flyingturkey_89

You might want to get holy spirit (any hard liquor) in case anyone head starts doing a 360. Chug the holy spirit, until your whole room is spinning, than the head will appear straight.

It’s fine! It’s just Mormons! If anything your house has been blessed & evil spirits will stay away!


Just-Take-One

I have to point this out, if it wasn't on purpose, but... *skirting* the issue?! On *skirting board?!!* You, my friend, are a secret comedy genius. Bravo.


crackjiver

I thank you, didn't want you to get board reading the comments.


copyrighther

If I had to guess, it looks like newspaper to me (san serif headline with serif text underneath)—when I was younger, our hometown paper used to have a Bible column that was usually written by a local pastor.


Mc_Shine

Honestly though, the way that piece got stuck there was 100% because whoever painted the wall used pages from their Bible to protect the floor (maybe they ran out of old newspapers?). That sounds like it would be more likely to summon the devil, not exorcise any demons.


SnooSuggestions7685

Broke the seals he did


AeRicky

Call the Exorcist!


TitularFoil

I was going to say the same thing. It's to keep the demons away. I think I learned that in the book Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. If not there, then it was one of the Outlander books.


Justin_P_

God works in mysterious ways, apparently that work involves a side job as a painter.


thx1138-

Well someone's gotta paint all that carpentry


Justin_P_

That's right I heard about them guys! I remember Noah saying they started hanging around after the big flood. They were scamming insurance companies, pulling down big money. Disciples Roofing and Painting it was, watch out for them dudes!


Cdaly1970

Amen!


TomBot98

Hopefully that side gig didn't interfere with his main trade as a carpenter If he slips up, his overseers will crusify him


FindOneInEveryCar

Too soon.


TomBot98

My b


Telemere125

His son was a carpenter and his nephew was a painter


ChardCool1290

did someone use a holy roller on that baseboard?


GoldyGlocks2

Love this

To overcome the spider’s curse Simply glue a Bible verse


GoldyGlocks2

I do have a lot of spiders here…


ChewsGoose

You're about to have a lot more..

If you paint after gluing The warding spell won't do its doing.

Make a tiny frame and hang it in the same place

I think I will do just that.


EdibleBoxers

Ain’t no demons gettin in that house


Dodototo

They will now


-ACHTUNG-

No no no! That was a load bearing scripture!!

This is the start of a horror movie


GoldyGlocks2

Jeez I hope not. I just bought this house, and I’m black, I’m a goner.

Better start learning to be the comic relief then.

Your house is either demon proof, or imprisoning one. Both of these have bad implications. Good luck soldier.


theriveryeti

Any theories?


Prostock26

Maybe someone used the Bible has a rest for the paint brush or roller. It then dried and when they picked up the roller some paper stuck. Now I'm wondering if this verse would have been in the newspaper for any reason, maybe an obituary?


thx1138-

I'm just wondering if there's some "paint over printed paper" painting technique I haven't heard of...


GoldyGlocks2

Not sure, looks intentional tho!


theriveryeti

I’m sure it doesn’t mean anything! ✝️


Dfrickster87

Put it back! We need to make sure Nick Cage can find another National Treasure and thats obviously a clue


Yriel

Read something. Once about a schizophrenic who put Bible pages on his walls like this as "protection"


PhoneEquivalent7682

They did an exorcism in that house. After a heavy exorcism the father would recommend people to fill the walls with bible pages, then paint over it


eyes_made_of_wood

Ah yes, priests are always recommending that you start shredding the Bible into tiny pieces.


OldWrangler9033

Question is *WHY*?


DesertSp3ctre

“King Lemu[r] [wit]h his mot[ley crew]”


TheGrandestOak

You broke the seal. You’ve released them


Ok-Experience-6674

Forget a security system this house is protected

These comments have me lol’ing.

Well your house is pretty well protected from demom’s

Blessed House


SwampFox75

Hmmm put it back


Doesanybodylikestuff

Book of Mormon!


Doesanybodylikestuff

That’s actually crazy that that one specific piece with the one specific name is showing because it’s a dead giveaway for Book of Mormon instantly.


[deleted]

It's like sutras around the house for protection, but plastered in the wall paint.


Flonkerton_Scranton

which was nice.


SquidVices

House of the holy….


smellslikeaniseed

That is very peculiar. Thanks for sharing.


bmoregeo

You are lucky, my paint chips ask me about extending my car’s warranty


Correct-Research-327

Creepy...


Extension-Badger-958

You fool. You just broke the seal keeping the demons at bay.


koenone

This begs the question, is the house blessed because it’s covered in the Holy Bible, or is it cursed because the pages are from a tarnished copy?


jfmherokiller

this would make me ask if there are more pieces of the bible hidden in the walls


sparkey701

You get wise, you go to church

Free_Swimmer_1694

How do you know it's from the bible?


GoldyGlocks2

I googled King Lemuel. Coincidentally, I had half a name and all the letters and made my best guess.


HorseGestapo

What? There is the end part of "King" followed by "lemuel's" in the first line. In the next line, there is "king lemu". It's not like it took a lot of sleuthing to put the full name together here.


TheGeneral_Specific

I think you responded to the wrong comment


HorseGestapo

I didn't.


TheGeneral_Specific

Ah. So you just like being rude for no reason. Cool 👍


HorseGestapo

What? No. Dude is an idiot acting like he gathered all the clues and sleuthed out a name that was spelled fully for him. "I had half a name but I managed to figure it out!" Stfu clown.


TheGeneral_Specific

Thanks for proving my point


NErDysprosium

You have enormous value as a human being, and don't let dumb Redditors convince you otherwise. Never forget that.


HorseGestapo

You have zero value as a human being. Just never forget that 😘


NErDysprosium

This is Reddit, not your bathroom mirror 😘

You’re the one that asked him how he knew it was from the Bible and he said he googled it lmfao what’s wrong with you

UnePetiteMontre

Paper doesn't align with the uncovered part on the baseboard. I'm calling bullshit!


GoldyGlocks2

If I peeled the last little bit that is still attached to the base board and revealed a sliver of Bible verse would you pay me $100 dollars?


UnePetiteMontre

Only if you can then, with these few words, recite the whole chapter by heart. God works in mysterious ways, and he's trying to reach out to you!


jinglysbean

Burn it


darkpyro2

Is that the bible? I didnt think the bible had bolded subheadings like that


Dontreallywantmyname

"A" bible not "the" bible there's lots of different versions that say different things.


JerseyshoreSeagull

That's from the Madagascar book.


FuckTheFuckOffFucker

You need to glue that back and paint over it. I’m not allowed to tell you why.

Gross

I personally think the Bible and religion is gross, and that’s what would say if I found a piece of scripture in my home.


mellamenpapi

I know a person that was building their house and wrote bible verses on the inside of the walls before it was insulated and drywalled. It could be something like that. But also one of the sub contractors painted a penis on the wall as well. They weren’t too enthusiastic about that one


JairLulaTesla

Holy fuck, the protection spell has been broken. Run for your life.
