Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Umbreit
Friedrich Wilhelm Carl/Karl Umbreit (April 11, 1795, Sonneborn, Thüringen - April 26, 1860, Heidelberg) was a German Protestant theologian and a Hebrew Bible scholar.
He was a student at the University of Göttingen, where one of his instructors was Johann Gottfried Eichhorn (1852-1827). He then continued his studies in Vienna with Orientalist Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall (1774-1856). In 1820 he became an associate professor of Old Testament studies and Oriental philology at the University of Heidelberg, where in 1823 he received the title of professor. In 1829 he attained the chair of Old Testament studies at Heidelberg.
In 1828 with Carl Christian Ullmann (1796-1865), he became co-editor of the journal Theologischen Studien und Kritiken (Theological studies and discussions). Umbreit published a scholarly translation/commentary on the Book of Job, as well as a commentary on the Book of Proverbs. His best known publication was a masterful four-volume exegetical work on the prophets of the Old Testament titled Praktischer Commentar über die Propheten des alten Bundes (1841–46).

You May Be Right
by: Billy JoelFriday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Sty alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
