About 9 years ago, I got the entire Old Testament on my iPod (remember those) and listened to it. And I realized 90% of the OT is as follows:
God tells the people “Don’t tick me off.”
The people tick God off.
God punishes the people.
The people repent.
God forgives the people.
God tells the people “Don’t tick me off again.”
The people tick God off again.
God punishes the people again.
The people repent again.
God forgives the people again.
Etc, etc, etc.
