Job is a wonderful story set to music. You can't read it without the music. It will just be a horror show to you. The whole mess is built on Deuteronomy 28. What the story teller is doing is binding and loosing the Torah right in front of you - so you should be able to see it now. It is truth for each one of us due to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, but it is story of a human with real backbone and he is solidly affirmed as such. The speeches and Behemoth and Leviathan are the stuff of art.

Here is the traditional fire-breathing dragon. Chorus: 18g His sneezing praises light, // and his eyes are like the eyelids of dawn. 19g From his mouth torches walk, //
and infatuations of fire escape. 20g From his sniffler he makes smoke emerge, // as one who is infatuated stokes
bulrushes. 21g His very self blazes coals, // and flame from his mouth emerges.
