It was a record run. Each day for fourteen days they had averaged

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Isaiah 28: 20 For the bed is too short for a man to stretch himself; and the covering too narrow when he gathereth himself up.
Isaiah 28: 21 For the LORD will rise up as in mount Perazim, He will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that He may do His work, strange is His work, and bring to pass His act, strange is His act.
Isaiah 28: 22 Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bands be made strong; for an extermination wholly determined have I heard from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, upon the whole land.
Isaiah 28: 23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my speech.
Isaiah 28: 24 Is the plowman never done with plowing to sow, with the opening and harrowing of his ground?
Isaiah 28: 25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof?
Isaiah 28: 26 For He doth instruct him aright; his God doth teach him.
Isaiah 28: 27 For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing-sledge, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the black cummin is beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
