Crowd Roars as Oliver Anthony Opens Show with Bible Verse Foretelling Fall of the ‘Wicked’

Country singer Oliver Anthony, whose “Rich Men North of Richmond” has become a working folks’ anthem, had the crowd roaring at a Sunday concert, but it was not for his 🎵Music.

Anthony began his Morris Farm Market show by reading from 📖The Bible.

“Before we start singing, and I mean we, ’cause I hope y’all are gonna be singing, too. I just had something I felt compelled to share with you. This is in Psalms, Psalms 37:12-20,” he said.

The verses, as read by Anthony, went, “The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them. But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.”

“But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. Better the little that have righteousness than the wealth of many wicked. For the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever. In times of disaster, they will not wither, and in days of famine, they will have plenty. But the wicked will perish,” he said.

“Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, and they will go up in smoke,” he read.
