Can someone explain to me...

[tinfoil tiaras]

What the fuck The Book of Job (Steven Mitchell translation) is about? I have a test on it in English first period tomorrow. I kinda get the general gist, but I'm worried about the specifics and quote explication (writing paragraphs of selected parts of prose or poetry).

8. A little more succinct then my explanation

:rofl:

[Tony Soprano]

5. I agree with Mr. Coffee

you coulda procrastinated more. I know that Job is reputed to have been a very, very patient man. He endured alot of trials and tribulations but never lost his faith? Now I'm bullshitting like you had better do tomorrow, hehe....

[MrCoffee]

9. you don't need Job lessons, you need bullshit lessons...

:rofl:

[Tony Soprano]

12. why thank you very little

:dunce:

[MrCoffee]

15. not you, the OP...

i coulda been a little clearer.

[Tony Soprano]

21. 10-4

I ain't very clear my self. Nice to meetcha Mr. Coffee!

[MrCoffee]

24. welcome to DU, Tony.

Ba-Da-Bing!

:toast:

[WhollyHeretic]

6. The devil calls God a pansy. Saying that Job is only pious because he has so much

family, servants, wealth, etc. So God kills his family, livestock, servants and gives him herpes or something. People tell Job to tell God to kiss off and then lay down and die. Since Job refuses to flip off god then he is rewarded with a new shiny family, servants and livestock. (guess the old ones didn't matter)

Though it's been a while since I read it :shrug:

10. Job Gets His Ass Kicked

but never gives up his faith for some reason

he worries a lot though

and gets down

but he never gives up

:shrug:
