Job 37: I am SkyFairy, hear me whimper!

Job Part 37 of 42

1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles,

and is moved out of its place.

Pics or it ain’t true!!!

2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,

the sound that goes out of his mouth.

That has to be better than the sounds that come from other places.

3 He sends it forth under the whole sky,

and his lightning to the ends of the earth.

4 After it a voice roars.

He thunders with the voice of his majesty.

He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.

5 God thunders marvelously with his voice.

He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.

If you used the same amount of words to tell us about the good things he does and how it would make us better people to follow his example, it might be worth it.  But to blather on and on making no sense at all is just plain boring.  Nothing you say has any bearing on being moral or making our lives better.  It’s just words.  Not very well put together either.

6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth;’

likewise to the shower of rain,

and to the showers of his mighty rain.

He speaks to snow?  Does the snow speak to him too?

7 He seals up the hand of every man,

that all men whom he has made may know it.

What happens if you don’t seal it?  Does the blood run out?

8 Then the animals take cover,

and remain in their dens.

9 Out of its room comes the storm,

and cold out of the north.

10 By the breath of God, ice is given,

and the breadth of the waters is frozen.

It comes from having such a cold heart.  If he even has a heart.

11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture.

He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

12 It is turned around by his guidance,

that they may do whatever he commands them

on the surface of the habitable world,

13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land,

or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

Or for killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

14 “Listen to this, Job.

Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

That should take all of about 1 millisecond.

15 Do you know how God controls them,

and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

16 Do you know the workings of the clouds,

the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

It makes no matter how, just if he does, and he DOESN’T.

17 You whose clothing is warm,

when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

The earth is still?  Because of a wind?  Moron.

18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky,

which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

You can’t spread out that which covers the whole.  Moron.

19Teach us what we shall tell him,

for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.

20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?

Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies,

but the wind passes, and clears them.

22 Out of the north comes golden splendor.

With God is awesome majesty.

23 We can’t reach the Almighty.

He is exalted in power.

In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

You haven’t read his resume, have you!

24 Therefore men revere him.

Only those credulous enough to believe in a skyfairy.

He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
