It's a little early to be posting this. The man is Mike Duncan, this piece is from his award winning podcast "The History of Rome". It's the history of the Roman Empire, from the legend of Aeneas after the sack of Troy making his way to the Italian peninsula up to Odoacer sending the last Western Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, into exile in Campania. There's 179 episodes, total running time of 74 hours. Well worth the time. And they're totally free to download.

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
