The Bible in 100+ Words

The original came from Mary Matthews.  I have added some in italicized print

God created.
Eve wondered.
Cain slew.
Noah arked.
Babel blundered.
Willfulness grew.

Sarah laughed.
Jacob schemed.
Joseph ruled.

Princess dreamed.
Bush talked,
Moses balked.
Pharaoh plagued.
People walked.
Sea divided.
Miriam danced.
Wisdom guided.
Promise landed.
Othniel, ideal —
Deborah outplayed.
Jephthah distrusted.
Samson betrayed.

Saul freaked,
David screwed.
Solomon lavished.
Manasseh crude.

Huldah prophesied.
Jeremiah warned.
Persians tromped,
Chosen scorned.

Esther rescued.
Judith defended.
Daniel lionized.
Freedom lamented.
Exiles returned,
Remnant resentful.
Temple rebuilt.
Prophets judgmental.

Mary believed.
God walked,
Love talked,
Compassion forgave,
Wisdom nourished.

12 called
Healings began
Parables told
Prophets proclaimed

Establishment feared.
Anger crucified,
Hope died.

Love rose,
Spirit flamed,


Saul raged
Jesus intervened
Ananias touched
Paul changed

Word spread,
God remains.
