pitchfork wielding painted red devil living at six six six

01:03

pretty happy and starts bragging about joe bing in it'll

01:50

take more than a little death and destruction to shake [Job celebrating God]

01:53

jobs Faith but satan's like that Come on That was

01:57

a warm up to which god is like what's the

02:00

main act And satan says for paradise l for something

02:04

so terrible and so awful that even the bravest man

02:07

would wish for death That's satan such a trickster

02:11

well and he's Like just kidding It's actually this and

02:15

it covers job and horrible boils rashes and blisters and

02:19

guess what That's it for satan No final bow no

02:22

rousing musical number and nothing He just leaves the story [Satan flies away from Job]

02:25

in a blaze of glory and boils which is a

02:27

shame Her he was quite a tap dancer Anyway Satan's

02:31

gone but job still very much part of the story

02:33

a boil filled kind of gross part of the story

02:35

but that's where we are and surprisingly enough a boil

02:38

filled kind of gross and pretty peeved part of the

02:41

story Yet our main man job has finally lost his

02:45

cool He doesn't renounce god but he thinks he deserves [Man screaming]

02:48

an explanation as to why all these terrible things were

02:50

happening to him So lf as bill dot and so

02:54

far who are all dudes from jobs village and not

02:58

the names of carnival fortune telling machines that you might

03:01

think so they enter the scene and try to clear [Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar appear on football field]

03:04

things up They huddle up they draw diagrams they take

03:07

jobs blood pressure And they asked him what he sees

03:10

in the ink blot And finally there like we did

03:14

it we found the incredibly complex answered all your problems

03:19

Drumroll please it's all your fault stinks for you the end... oh

03:24

And uh can we use your bathroom It was a

03:26

long trek out here Well jobs like this is surely

03:31

your greatest test yet lowered but he sucks it up

03:35

and lets them use his bathroom Okay maybe i hate [Men use Job's bathroom]

03:37

it when people use my bathroom and i'm projecting but

03:40

whatever my web series my rules anyway job isn't satisfied

03:45

with their conclusion he's also not satisfied with the way

03:48

they left his bathroom seriously He never needed to know [Job using plunger to his toilet]

03:52

that Build that in george corn but never fear ellie

03:56

who is here Ellie who may be younger than those

03:58

first three dudes but his words hold far more wisdom

04:02

And he knows how to make a bathroom sparkle He [Elihu sitting in a bathroom]

04:05

tells job that maybe he didn't sin but he still

04:07

has no right to question his fate It is what

04:09

it is And finally the big man himself decides to

04:12

show up jobs probably expecting a shoulder to cry on

04:15

a nice pep talk maybe some hand knitted socks but

04:18

nope all job gets is a good scolding god's like

04:22

where were you when i was creating the universe job [God criticising Job]

04:25

Where were you when i was making the ci's job

04:29

What about all of this land you're standing on huh

04:32

What about that job? That's What i thought now stop

04:36

having opinions and concerns and get back to worshipping me

04:40

and only me Wait a second Isn't pride a sin

04:43

there God? God Huh I guess he got an important

04:46

phone call but that's Okay Because even though job didn't

04:50

get the socks he did get the point He's humbled [Job wearing cotton socks]

04:53

he's just a mere mortal living in an immortally

04:55

ruled world And if he's meant to be the sacrificial

04:58

pawn in god's name chast well so be it Taking

05:01

ellie whose advice job goes back to his super bleak

05:03

life and stop complaining and eventually god reimburses all of

05:07

jobs losses as a reward for his patients and faith [Cecil discussing Job's losses]

05:11

We're talking doubly animals brand new kids who are a

05:14

way cooler in prettier than his first duty children and

05:17

tons of shiny blink but still no socks Well jobs

05:21

trials ever end anyway Job never finds out that his

05:24

entire life was ruined over god Stupid bet with satan

05:27

I suppose in this instance ignorance really is bliss Well

05:31

he lives a long happy life with his cooler kids I suppose in this instance ignorance really is bliss Well

05:31

he lives a long happy life with his cooler kids

05:33

Serve your servants and friendly or friends all of those [Job with his family]

05:36

old kids and servants and animals jobs started off with

05:39

well they were probably more trouble than they were worth

05:41

anyway It's like all of their deaths were really blessings

05:45

in disguise That's probably what's job repeated himself feel better [Job crying alone]

05:49

about you know literally everyone in his life dying over

05:52

a game moral of the story never allow yourself to

05:55

become close to anyone Is that not the actual moral

06:00

Well that's what i'm taking away from this well until [Cecil sitting by fire]

06:02
