He Sayeth Among The Trumpets, Ha Ha


 Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?  Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper?  The glory of his nostrils is terrible.  He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.  He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.  The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.  He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.   He saith among the trumpets, Ha Ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.


From the book of Job, KJV.

All strength is a gift from God, little bunny.  Shall we accept good from him and not trouble?  Straighten up and fly right, Billy.

Do you give the horse its strength
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
Do you make it leap like a locust,
striking terror with its proud snorting?
It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,
and charges into the fray.
It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
The quiver rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear and lance.
In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

Job 39:19-25, New International Version.  The King James Version is highly flawed and poorly translated, it was also used for political purposes and King James' own superstitious mindset, like commanding the killing of witches, something not in the original Koine Greek.  Requiring the death of homosexuals is in the original, something Queenie should have ordered left out but I guess rules don't apply to kings.   As can be seen the KJV version of the warhorse text is nonsense.  80% of the KJV was lifted from John Wycliffe's translation, deemed heretical by the Church who had him dug up and burned 44 years after his death on orders of Pope Martin V who spent most of his reign commanding the killing of Czechoslovakians over doctrinal issues, symbolic cannibalism in this case.   A 'Ha Ha' is a sunken wall designed to keep out cattle and sheep while allowing an unobstructed view of the landscape, aka a deer leap.  None of this has anything to do with my drawing which I worked on for a week, often 2 or 3 minutes a day, is bizarrely drawn, and I added the snake in an act of desperation at salvaging a typical non moving rabbit graphic 'cause I'm out of ideas, talent, and humor.  I really need to get it together and start doing Pokemon porn or something of some kind of value to society at large and DA specifically, I sure do.  I destroyed most of my good artwork after my divorce and now can no longer prove I ever had skill or ability, never mind youth and friends.  I wear sackcloth and thorns amidst the ashes and bones of my wasted life, and have been cursed with kittens I cannot get rid of, alas, yea and verily. 
Phooey.

Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
    Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering
    that was inflicted on me,
that the Lord brought on me
    in the day of his fierce anger?

From on high he sent fire,
    sent it down into my bones.
He spread a net for my feet
    and turned me back.
He made me desolate,
    faint all the day long.

My sins have been bound into a yoke
    by his hands they were woven together.
They have been hung on my neck,
    and the Lord has sapped my strength.
He has given me into the hands
    of those I cannot withstand.

Lamentations 1:12-14  See what I got to deal with?
