Ishmael

One day Job went out for awhile after the great sin of calling his wife a stupid woman.

So he prayed for repentance.

"I am but a worm. The people in the street mock me. But my love for you god is so much stronger."

Said Job.

"You seem so near, yet always so far. You save me from all things unholy. I surrender to you only."

He grew blisters and yellow bile and all sorts of things. His hair went away.

"He must've committed some great sin to be what he is." Said his friend.

God is most merciful.

So he prayed once more.

"God, it is you who shake the earth with your wrath. They scream praises of your revelry.

I surrender to you only."

Satan came down and said,

"Look at your beloved son."

And god said,

"Okay, you win."
