"It is hard to kick against the pricks", this comes from the Bible. Kadizzle is often amazed about some of the things in the Bible. Kadizzle thought this had something to do with his fights against city hall in Hazen, but here is the real answer.
Answer:
“It is hard for you to kick against the pricks” was a Greek proverb, but
it was also familiar to the Jews and anyone who made a living in
agriculture. An ox goad
was a stick with a pointed piece of iron on its tip used to prod the
oxen when plowing. The farmer would prick the animal to steer it in the
right direction. Sometimes the animal would rebel by kicking out at the
prick, and this would result in the prick being driven even further into
its flesh. In essence, the more an ox rebelled, the more it suffered.
Thus, Jesus’ words to Saul on the road to Damascus: “It is hard for you
to kick against the pricks.”
Our next Bible lesson will be about the verse in the Bible " He who pisseth against the wall shall surely perish. God does not want you pissing on the wall. Don't try it, if you think I am kidding see what happened in the Bible to the guy who did.
