Breaking rules, using slang and archaic language can be effective, but it is just as likely to give you an audience busy with wincing.”

The weight of your deceit will crush you, as the truth comes to light. Every false promise and hope you dangled will turn to dust. Betrayal and backstabbing may seem to work temporarily, but God's judgment will prevail. Your actions will come back sevenfold, bringing suffering and regret.
