Bible Book Haiku - Job One

Get it..."Job One"? <snort> I kill myself sometimes.

Anyway, Aaron (no URL and we don't disclose email addresses) has neatly summarized the book of Job for us:

Satan wrecks Job's life
Human friends cannot comfort
God remains supreme

Very nice. I was hoping he'd use "leviathan" somewhere in there, but that pretty much kills a whole line on its own.

So, that brings us to the Big Bible Kahuna, the book of Psalms. I look forward to your work. Here are the meme rulez (notice how I'm now appealing to the "younger generation"?), and here's the complete list to-date.

Incidentally, you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting another Bible haiku meme. This one was just brought to my attention; it started way back in March of Ought Four. However, it's taken on a different life, having expanded to all sorts of religions, including Zoroastrianism, which is not based on the sacred pronouncements of a certain Mexican outlaw/hero.

Hi Eric, Mrs. Eric, Jasmine, Abbye, and all,

Just checked the posts for Bible Haiku here and it seems we're stuck on Psalms. Can't get a haiku inspired by Psalms to burst forth. Writer's blogk again. Drat!

Well as Eric has done before, giving clues or hints about the answers to his movie questions, allow me to perform a similar service for our Psalms-haiku quest: This is not the haiku inspired by Psalms that Eric has elicited with his challenge; this is a haiku right from the American Standard Version of the Bible, from the shortest Psalm, the 117th.

The truth of Jehovah
Endureth for ever.
Praise ye Jehovah.
-Psalm 117:2

That's your clue.

Pray for peace. Pass it on.
