Hi there,

I'd like the following paragraphs read in a booming, pompous sort of voice. The more voices, the better. Male and female voice, any accent welcome.

(This is for a goofy panel game, in which players have to figure out if the quote is from the bible or completely made up. The game, me, and the players are all completely NON-religious, so this should be a hoot.)

And The Lord God spoke. "Act against your enemies! But strayeth not into torment. Inflict pain, surely, but do not cause the ceasing of the functions of the innards. Threaten, but not for so long your captive is driven mad. Withold food, but leave enough fat on their bones. These things will please me."

Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot. He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the infectious disease and pronounce him clean. Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields.

The angel sailed on, the uproar increasing. The men grew white with fear. The salt waters whirled and they looked into a deep watery pit and saw the blue sand. The rocks were hidden by a thick mist. Suddenly Michael thrust forth a mighty hand and snatched six of the brave men, as a fisherman pulls out fish with a hook. Their hands outstretched as they were lifted into the air, and they cried for help.

--

When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
