The sermon explores the book of Lamentations, written by the prophet Jeremiah, which expresses grief and laments the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the people of Judah. The book is read publicly every year by the Jewish people on a day of mourning. Lamentations is written as an acrostic, with each chapter corresponding to a Hebrew letter. The sermon emphasizes the importance of not complaining, but rather turning to God, repenting, and crying out for deliverance. Jeremiah's response to suffering and persecution is one of trust in God's justice.
Thanks for joining us at Barnet Bible Church. This week Mr. Beckler continues his teaching series in the Book of Lamentations. Let us pray. Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You, Lord, for, again, this day and this time that we could gather together as Your people, Lord, to worship You.
Lord, the highlight, the pinnacle of our week to gather and lift our voices to praise you, to lift up our hearts, to cast our cares upon you. Lord, we thank you for your word. We thank you that we can have it so available to us, that we can dig in and read. Lord, we thank you for your book of Lamentations, a book not read too often, but Lord, your truths are still in it. So many applications, Lord, for us in our daily lives.
We thank you. Lord, we pray that your Spirit would be upon us, Lord, and that my words would be your words and that you would be glorified in Jesus name we pray amen In our last time in Lamentations we went through the middle of the middle part of chapter 3 And before continuing I would again like to spend a few minutes reminding you of some of the special details associated with the book of Lamentations and give a brief summary of what we've already covered since beginning a year or however long ago. So first some background. Jeremiah, known as the weeping prophet, is recognized as the author of the Book of Lamentations. These are his Lamentations, his expressions of grief written in the form of five poems as he watched firsthand the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple and the exile of the people of Judah to a far distant land.
The book of Lamentations is read publicly every year by the Jewish people on the Jewish day of mourning. This is called Tisha B'Av. It's a fast commemorating the destruction of the temple, the first and the second temple in 586 BC and 70 AD. In the Hebrew language, Tisha B'Av means the ninth of Av. Av is the fifth month of the Hebrew calendar.
Tisha is just the letter, the number nine in Hebrew, so Tisha B'Av. Av corresponds to late July, early August. They have a little bit different calendar than we do, so it varies. So what is the ninth of Av, what makes it so unique? If you Google it sometime you'll find that there were a tremendous number of tragedies experienced by the Jewish people across many countries across our history on that specific date.
You'll be amazed. Another point of interest is Lamentations is written as an acrostic. Most of us are aware that Psalm 119 is an acrostic, having eight verses for each letter in the Hebrew alphabet. In Lamentations chapter 1, 2, and 4, each chapter, each poem has 22 verses, each one corresponding to a Hebrew letter. In chapter 3, we see three verses per letter in the alphabet.
Chapter 5, although it has 22 verses, doesn't follow that same style of an acrostic. So why did Jeremiah use an acrostic such as we find here? Perhaps to aid in memorization. Perhaps to indicate a completeness in the poems, perhaps to force himself to complete his process of grief from the beginning to the end, from Aleph to Tav. Now let's take a quick review, take a moment to review what we've covered.
In previous times, we have big gaps between when I get to cover lamentation, so I always think it's helpful to go over what we've covered. In chapter one, the main points we discussed were the great suffering of God's people through the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple and the exile of their people, through the abandonment of her friends and her allies, not only offering neither comfort nor support in her time of distress but becoming her enemies. Through this great suffering, Judah acknowledged her great rebellion against God, that she deserved the punishment God afflicted her with. And note that their sin against God was not singular, it was not a one-time event. Judah had rebelled against God and His commands for centuries.
And as in chapter one, chapter two, begins with the word how. But we find that in chapter two, it's used a little bit differently. In chapter one, it's a question, how could this happen? In chapter two, it's more in the sense of, look how the Lord is punishing his people. Jeremiah focuses here in chapter 2 on 26 different actions or punishments the Lord undertakes against Judah.
26 actions that come from God's fierce anger. God was punishing Judah for the sins she had committed against him. God was correcting Judah out of love and with a view to restoring them. When we feel we've been destroyed and conquered by the wicked or even just attacked, our best response is to pour out our hearts to the Lord. Even when we can't put words into what we feel and the best we can do is groan, God hears it and God understands what we're trying to say.
We need to trust him. We need to trust that he will work it out for his glory and our good. In the first part of Chapter 3, we see Jeremiah's affliction. He saw the punishment that God had inflicted upon Judah by the rod of his wrath. The Chaldeans were used as the instrument to punish Judah.
Jeremiah focuses on his distress in terms of his body wasting away, his body broken, surrounded by bitterness and woe, and set in the grave, abandoned and long forgotten. Jeremiah also paints a picture of great distress, bitterness and woe, being abandoned, chained and imprisoned, locked away, no one to hear his cries for help. Finally, Jeremiah concludes that not only is his strength gone, but also his hope is perished. Yet in the second part of chapter 3 we see how at the deepest moment of despair Jeremiah turned to God. He began to hope and trust in God to see the mercies and compassion of God new every morning.
He declared, great is thy faithfulness, the song that we sang today. Despite all of this terrible stuff that just happened, he placed his trust in God. It's a message for hope for all of us. Well hopefully this sets the ground works for us for looking at the final section of chapter three, verses 37 through 66, titled God's Justice. I'll start with reading just the first five verses.
You may want to follow in your Bible as we go through these. I won't always read as I go through it the verses, but starting in verse 37. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not, out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try out our ways and turn again to the Lord.
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. Our first section opens with Jeremiah asking some rhetorical questions regarding God's sovereignty. The first part of verse 37 reminds us of God working in Genesis chapter one in the creation story. Eight times there we read, and God said, the first of those being, let there be light, and there was light in Genesis 1 3. Eight times we read that God speaks and it comes to pass.
But as we continue on in verse 37, it ends with when the Lord commanded it not. So who can speak a command that has not been ordained by God and it come to pass? Who is more powerful than God? Of course, no one. Nothing.
John Gill comments here, nothing escapes God's knowledge and foreknowledge, or can resist his will, or control his power, or frustrate his counsels, and counterwork his designs. Whatever schemes men form to get riches, to obtain honor, to do mischief to others, to prolong life to themselves, and to perpetuate their names to posterity, being contrary to the purpose of God, they will never succeed. And whenever they do succeed in any of the above instances, it is only because God has commanded or has determined it should be so. We read of Jesus' encounter with Pilate in John 19 verses 10 and 11. Pilate believed he himself had complete power and complete authority.
We read, do you not know that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you? But he was mistaken and corrected by Jesus, who said, you would have no authority over me if it were not given to you from above. In our second rhetorical question, I wanna clarify the use of evil and good. The Hebrew word used here for evil is ra, which can have a range of meanings depending on the context. It can mean evil, it can mean bad, it can mean judgment, calamity, adversity, a lot of different meanings.
For the use we see here, it is more in the sense of calamity. Calamity and prosperity alike come from God. We remember as Job answers his wife, shall we indeed accept good from God and shall we not accept adversity in Job 2.10. God speaks to Cyrus, I bring prosperity and create calamity. I the Lord do all these things.
And finally in Jeremiah's telling of God's promise of restoration to the people of Israel we read, for this is what the Lord says, just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them, Jeremiah 32 42. The final rhetorical question here completes the thought built from the first two questions. If all things that come to pass are ordained by God, if good and bad proceed from the mouth of God, why are you complaining? The punishment for sin is death. If you are alive, any calamity or judgment that you're experiencing now is far less than your sins deserve.
Commentary from Kiel and Delich, man is not to sigh over suffering and sorrow but only over his sin. We need to keep perspective. We shouldn't wallow in the doom and gloom of our suffering that we might be experiencing. Perhaps we needed correction and we remember Solomon's words to his son, my son despised not to chastening of the Lord, neither be weary of his correction for whom the Lord loveth He correcteth even as a father the son in whom he delighteth in Proverbs 3 11 and 12 God is sovereign. He has ordained all things for his glory and our good But the Sufferings may be coming from something else, such as in the case with Job, but this doesn't mean that we cannot cry out to God in our struggles or sufferings.
But again, as Benson comments, though we may pour out our complaints Before God, we must never complain against or of God. We must never place ourselves in a position that we are actually judging what God has ordained. We need to remember, He's God, He's sovereign, Period. This warning of complaining is followed by a more proper response, a more excellent way that calls us to examine ourselves and turn back to God. The call to lift up our heart with our hands unto God shows us that our outward position can be an expression of our heart condition.
We pray to him with uplifted hands. Our uplifted hands draws our focus heavenward unto God in the heavens. We remember that Jesus taught us to pray, our Father who art in heaven. So it's good for us to look heavenward. Jesus is there at his right hand to be our sovereign priest, to be our High Priest, to be our advocate with the Father, to plead our case.
Matthew Henry comments on this section. While there is life, there is hope. And instead of complaining that things are bad, we should encourage ourselves with the hope that they will be better. We are sinful men, and what we complain of is far less than our sins deserve. We should complain to God, not of Him.
We are apt in times of calamity to reflect on other people's ways and blame them but our duty is to search and try our own ways that we may turn from evil to God Our hearts must go with our prayers. If inward impressions do not answer to outward expressions, we mock God and we deceive ourselves. The psalmist proclaims, I considered my ways and turned my steps to your testimonies. In Psalm 119 59, he also cries out, search me, oh God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts.
In Psalm 139 23. What is your response to calamity? Do you complain? Do you look outward? Do you try to blame other people?
Examine yourself. Turn to God's word. Turn to God in prayer. Cry out to him as David did. Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit. In our next section, verses 42 through 47, we see Jeremiah's acknowledgement that they have sinned, they have rebelled, because God has not pardoned their transgressions. What follows is a list of calamities that God has brought upon his people Israel in verses 42 through 47. We have transgressed and have rebelled.
Thou hast not pardoned. Thou hast covered with anger and persecuted us. Thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied, thou hast covered thyself with a cloud that our prayer should not pass through. Thou hast made us as the off scouring and refuse in the midst of the people. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
Fear and a snare has come upon us, desolation and destruction." We begin there in verse 42 with a confession of sin and the awareness that a pardon for those sins has not been given. Jeremiah prophesied that Judah would be exiled for 70 years because they did not hearken unto the Lord to serve other gods and worship them. And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon 70 years, Jeremiah 25, 11. Their exile here was just beginning, and they understood they were receiving judgment for their rebellion. In verse 43, many translations surrender it, thou has covered thyself with anger, which corresponds nicely with the following verse where God has covered thyself with a cloud.
In both verses we see God covering himself first in anger, displeasure, wrath, so that he would show no pity while executing his righteous judgments as was spoken of in Jeremiah 29, 18. I will pursue them with sword and famine and pestilence and give them for maltreatment to all the kingdoms of the earth. Second, the picture is covering of a cloud so thick and enveloping that Judah's prayers could not get through to God. John Gill comments, With wrath and anger as a cloud, he wrapped up himself in thick darkness, so as not to be seen or come at. Sin, when it appears not pardoned, is as a cloud between God and his people, and this causes him to show his anger and displeasure, which is the cloud about him or the hiding of his face.
In such circumstances, God seems to his people to be inexorable and not a God hearing and answering prayer as he is as if there was no access unto him or audience to be had of Him, or acceptance of persons, or prayers with Him. Whereas the throne of grace is always open and accessible, and there is a new and living way for believers always to approach unto God, He is a mercy seat ready to receive and hear their prayers. As we move on, Noah Webster defines the word off scouring, that which is scoured off, hence refuse, rejected matter, that which is vile or despised. In the execution of God's judgment on Judah, He has made them vile or despised, garbage in the eyes of the people, the heathen nations surrounding them. That hit me, because this week I was moving someone's trash can from the street to their house, an older lady.
And with the temperatures we've been having and notice what was left at the bottom of the trash can, and it was really bad. It was gross. But this was a picture for me. This is what I would imagine off-scouring in the refuse that was spoken about would actually look like. This is the picture given of the people of Judah as seen by their neighbors.
Nahum used similar language in his prophecy of judgment against Nineveh, and I will cast abominable filth upon thee and make thee vile and will set thee as a gazing stock. In Nahum 3.6. Judah's enemies have opened their mouths. They speak against us, they mock us. And John Gill comments, like lions and other beasts of prey to devour us, or in a way of scorn and derision, pouring out the reproaches upon us, and scoffs at us for our religion and the worship of God and on account of present miseries and distresses.
In their fear and distress, they tried to escape, to flee, but were enslaved like a wild animal being hunted. Isaiah, in describing God's judgment on the earth says, fear in the pit and the snare are upon thee, O, inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare there is no escape their cities destroyed their temple is destroyed men women and children have been slaughtered the spoils have been taken those exiled and a few who remained were left desolate In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul is perhaps reflecting on Judah's judgment when he exhorts the Church of Corinth on how to respond to adversity. And he says, and labor, working with our own hands, being reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we suffer it.
Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world and are the offscouring of all things unto this day." In 1 Corinthians 4, 12 and 13. He calls them to bless, to endure, to entreat as responses. And Matthew Henry comments, and everyone who would be faithful to Christ Jesus must be prepared for poverty and contempt. Whatever the disciples of Christ suffer from men, they must follow the example and fulfill the will and the precepts of their Lord.
They must be content with Him and for Him to be despised and abused. It is much better to be rejected, despised and ill-used as Paul was than to have the good opinion in favor of the world. Though cast off by the world as vile, yet we may be precious to God, gathered up with his own hand and placed upon his throne. And how do you respond to mocking, to contempt, or sufferings? Do you get angry at God?
Do you get angry at others? Or do you remember, or do you think, Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds. James 1, 2. Remember that your present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us in Romans 8, 18. We must trust God and we need to take comfort in knowing that nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ not tribulation Or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
Romans 835 After describing in the previous verses all that they were suffering and the disasters that had taken place, we now see how Jeremiah responds. I'll read 48 through 51. Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. Mine eyes trickle down and ceaseth not without any intermission. Till the Lord look down and behold from heaven, mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city." Jeremiah weeps, not just weep though, but he says, my eye runneth down with rivers of water.
Remember Jeremiah was an eyewitness to all that happened. His grief must have been overwhelming. His soul must have cried out, tears running like a river of water His grief and his tears ceaseth not There was no intermission in his expression of grief. He wept continually We can look back in chapters one, verse 16, he says, mine eye runneth down with water. And in chapter two, verse 18, let the tears run down like a river day and night.
Continual weeping was Jeremiah's life. Beforehand, even Jeremiah had prophesied this tragedy, this judgment on his people. He spoke the word of the Lord to them and said, and I will make Jerusalem heaps and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Judah desolate without an inhabitant." In Jeremiah 9-11, even then he was deeply affected by what he knew was coming. He says in 9-1, "'O that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughters of my people. There would be no end of tears, no end of grief, no relief, until the Lord looks down from heaven and takes compassion on his people and puts an end to their sufferings.
Let's take a moment also to look at how the heart or soul is affected. Matthew Poole comments, the eye and the ear are those organs of the body by which the soul exercises its senses to bring in all objects whether pleasant or sad to the understanding to judge of them according to the judgment of which upon them it is affected with joy or sorrow, desire, aversion. And the eye out of the two is the chiefest of them, because its evidence is more certain and less subject to deceit. The prophet and most of the Jews were eye witnesses to the evils which had befallen the Jews and which at present were upon them, so as their hearts were the more affected. Continuing with the next three verses, Mine enemies chased me sore like a bird without cause.
They had cut off my life in the dungeon and cast a stone upon me. Waters flowed over mine head. Then I said, I am cut off. There is here a difference of opinion as to the interpretation of these verses. Some believe these verses are the personal experiences of Jeremiah.
For 22 years Jeremiah prophesied judgment to the people of Judah, and during that time he was mocked, he was persecuted, even to the point of being tossed in a pit to die. Although there is no mention of water in the pit, nor that a stone was placed on the top of the pit, The word certainly could be a metaphor for what he went through in his imprisonment with no chance of escape. On the other hand, some believe these verses represent the experience of the people of Judah. The Chaldeans conquered and destroyed Jerusalem and chased down all that they were trying, all that were trying to escape. They were captured and exiled.
Their freedoms were taken away, like being placed in a prison or dungeon with no chance of escape. They were cut off from what was left of their homes, from the life that they had lived and from all that they had known. It is from here that Jeremiah begins his prayer of deliverance in verses 55 through 66. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon. Thou hast heard my voice hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee. Thou saidst, fear not. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul. Thou hast redeemed my life. Oh Lord, thou hast seen my wrong.
Judge thou my cause. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. Thou has heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me. The lips of those that rose up against me and their devices against me all the day. Behold, they're sitting down and they're rising up.
I am their music. Render unto them a recompense, O Lord, according to the work of their hands. Give them sorrow of heart, they curse unto them. Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord. Despite the tragedies, despite the sufferings, Jeremiah remembered that there is one who always hears, even from the depths of the lowest dungeon or the deepest despair, is never too late, and the dungeons are never too low.
The psalmist cries out, out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Lord, in Psalm 130, verse one. Though there was weeping rivers of tears, they could still cry out unto the Lord. God was the only one they could turn to. They had hope that God would hear their prayers and deliver them. Like the prayers of Jonah who prayed unto the Lord, his God, out of the fish's belly, and said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me.
Out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou hurt'st my voice, Jonah 2, one and two. There is always hope for deliverance. Before, we see back in verse 44, God covered himself with a cloud so that prayers would not get through to him. Now, Jeremiah trusts that God hears him. Thou hast heard my voice.
Hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. Turn not a deaf ear to me. We find two kinds of prayers described here. The first is a sigh at my breathing. A quiet, silent petition breathes forth.
The second is at my cry, which gives a picture of a loud and earnest prayer. This brings back memories for me when Molly and I started having children and not knowing much wondered if everything with our new baby was okay. We'd sneak in and listen quietly. Is the breathing in the night, we heard it, is it smooth, is it regular? If so, we were comforted.
If we heard grunting or raspiness or irregular breathing, we got worried. We might have done something to try to figure out what was going on. When there was crying, you could hear it all throughout the house. That was not a problem. There was no missing it.
We then of course try to figure out why the baby was crying. Jeremiah here is hoping that God is listening closely to his breathing, to his sighing. And he's also crying out. He's praying that God would hear his cries and deliver them. Jeremiah remembers a time of distress in the past wherein he cried out unto the Lord and God drew near him and told him to fear not.
God encourages his people with the same words through Isaiah fear thou not for I am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee. Yea, I will help thee, yea. I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41, 10. Matthew Poole comments here, God is never far off from any of us as to his essential presence nor is it possible that he should for he filleth all places But he is said to be near us or far off from us as he manifests or doth not manifest. His goodness to us by acts of gracious providence, of that drawing near the text speaks of. God being infant in goodness and mercy is spoken of as absent from those persons and places where he is not showing mercy and present only there where he showeth forth his goodness and to be drawing nigh to them to whom he beginneth to show mercy." Jeremiah also remembers times when God has pleaded the cause of his soul, his life. In verse 48, he pleaded in the Hebrew gives a sense of a lawsuit, a court case where God is his advocate, his lawyer.
God had been Jeremiah's defender in the persecutions against his life. In verses 59 through 63, Jeremiah is calling out God to judge his cause, to give justice, to right the wrongs inflicted upon him. The evidence doesn't need to be presented because God has seen firsthand the wrongs perpetrated, the persecutions, the vengeance, the horrible acts of violence, and all kinds of cruelty. He has heard firsthand their reproach, even from their lips, their taunts, their mockings. Furthermore, he hears not only what comes from their lips, but also their malicious thoughts and their secret plots to harm.
Jeremiah concludes that his enemies spend all their time from the phrase they're sitting down and they're rising up abusing them. He says, I am their music. They are the subjects of taunting songs, the objects of their scorn. This happened to Job. He said, and now they mock me in song.
I have become a byword among them. It also happened to David. Those who sit at the gate mock me. I am the song of drunkards. We now come to the final three verses.
They are a repetition that God would judge his enemies, that he would do to them what they had done to his people. John Gill comments that these three verses should not be read actually as petitions, but rather as prophecies, as indicated in the Septuagint and Vulgate and a number of other translations. Thus we would read, thou wilt render, thou wilt give, thou wilt persecute and destroy. And these same thoughts are found throughout scripture from Psalm 28 four, repay them according to their deeds and for their works of evil, repay them for what their hands have done, bring back on them what they deserve. From Jeremiah himself in 11 verse 20, but oh Lord of hosts, you who judge righteously, testing the mind and the heart, Let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have revealed my cause.
And in 1823, yet Lord, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me. Forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee, deal thus with them in the time of thine anger. It is a great comfort to know that God judges righteously, especially in a culture that we live in today where justice appears to no longer be applied evenly to all people. As we conclude chapter three, we've seen Jeremiah progress from utter despair, having all his strength gone, all his hope perished. And then from the deepest depths of his grief, Jeremiah turns to God.
He places his hope in God, even rejoicing that God's mercies and compassion are new every morning. And finally reaches a point where he turns to God for justice. I'd like to close with a few questions. Do you complain? Would someone who knows you well describe you as a complainer?
Next time you catch yourself complaining, remember Job's reply to his wife's comment to curse God and die. Job said, shall we receive the good at the hand of God and not receive the bad. God has ordained all things for his glory and for the good of his people. Do you feel like something is blocking your prayers? You should examine yourself to see if there's something you need to repent of.
Are you struggling with a secret sin? Confess and repent. Perhaps you are blinded to a sin. Pray that God would be opening your eyes to sin so that you could repent and if needed ask for forgiveness to those you may have sinned against. Where do you turn when you find yourself in despair or in the lowest dungeon?
Do you cry out to God for deliverance? Or do you complain? Remember, in these times, His mercy and compassion are new every morning. And remember the hymn that we sang earlier today, Great is Thy Faithfulness. And how you handle those times of affliction.
Do you reflect on the many times God has delivered you in the past, on the many times he has brought comfort and peace. Remember it is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not leave you. He will not forsake you.
Do not fear or be dismayed. Amen. Let us pray. Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord, once again for this time. We thank you for your word, how precious it is.
Lord, we take for granted what a precious gift this is. If we look through history, so many people didn't have your word. So many people couldn't read your word. And Lord, we look at our culture now and there's Dusty Bibles on our shelves. Each home filled with Bibles yet not read.
Lord we thank you for bringing us your word for your revelation. We thank you that we could spend some time in the book of Lamentations, Lord. Expressions of grief that Jeremiah witnessed and the judgment that you poured out on your people. We thank you for those difficult or painful times that we find ourselves in. Help us, Lord, to turn to you, to cry out to you, and to trust you.
Help us not be stuck in the lowest dungeons or man caves. Lord, help us cry out to you. Help us remember that you're a righteous God, you are just and you are sovereign. Lord, I pray that you would help us not complain, that you
