Jacobs 7:13-31
13 And the Lord said "I have heard the cries of my tribe for the deliverance of even a dying quail for the sake of all these ducks on their pond. 14 But I have hardened Joba's heart against them so that my wonders may be known", and the next man was retired meekly and the one after flew softly out, 15 and the entire tribe began to despair.
16 But when their penultimate chance began the Lord sent a great swarm of insects throughout the field, and the visiting army was sorely vexed as though by a plague, 17 and the men behind Joba swatted continuously and without effect at the tiny flies all about them. 18 They called forth their magicians to apply their secret arts against the bugs, but it brought no relief and lo the bugs caused no distress for any among the tribe. 19 And the Lord said "this Joba has refused my people hits, even the most meager infield single; he shall see what may be accomplished without them." 20 And Joba in his distraction issued a free pass to the tribe's fleetest man, then uncorked a wild throw allowing him to advance, and lo he advanced further by the sacrifice of one of his men. 21 Finally, Joba, nearly crazed by the tiny creatures all around him, unleashed a throw his servant could not contain, 22 and thus it came to pass that the contest was evened without a single hit to Joba's proud record.
23 Now it came to pass that a man named Rivera was later called forth by the army to contain the tribe. 24 And the Lord said "This Rivera is an honorable man, but he toils for a dishonorable Boss. I shall load the bases before him as a sign of my displeasure with his master, 25 but I shall allow him to escape unscathed that he may remain blameless before men." 26 And thus it came to pass that Rivera yielded to one named Vizcaino. 27 And the Lord said "this Vizcaino is an inconstant man, not like the one he replaces. I shall load the bases before him, but this time I shall humble him and his stiff-necked army with a man from my tribe also renowned for stubbornness." 28 And thus the donkey-man stood before Vizcaino and as with his previous swing he struck true. 29 But this time instead of finding a man on his knees the stone found a hole that brought the entire army and its city to its knees, 30 and the once and future king triumphantly came home at last, and the assembly stood as one with a mighty roar as he did so, 31 and there was much rejoicing.
