“de dar vueltos (Circling Round)” (Job 2:2) [Spanish Jerusalem Bible Series - Job sub-series - # Job2:2]
So satan says, just circling ’round
To see what weakness can be found
In anyone there on the earth
Who lives in first or second birth.Seems he’s still there, just circling ’round,
Or “Prowling” as in Bible’s found
A reference to him – lion-like,
Who seeks some prey by day or night.But Spanish phrase intrigues my mind –
For in that phrase we meaning find –
Of “Facing” as the root of it;
Face-value brings a closer fit.Or “two-faced”, we in English say;
The Spanish on this cool thought plays –
A circuit gives new “Faces” here,
Which makes a situation clear.The phrase, de dar vu-el-tos, means,
To circle ’round – to me it seems
Quite clear why satan circles ’round –
To see if weak face can be found.(Like song, “I’ve looked from all sides now”) –
Some weakness, access will allow;
For looking closely at some sight
Gives insight as to rival’s might –And that’s what’s up with satan here,
Which story-teller thus makes clear –
He looks beyond “Presenting” face
To find where Job can be dis-graced.“Discernment of the spirit scene”
Does that – looks closely – “What’s this mean?”
It asks – and probes from many sides,
To find some way to get inside –And then, “Ka-boom!” It’s Jubilee –
The day when folks like that are free;
Decoding lives of one and all
Let’s Spirit loose to blow some wall.But there’s no sense in fighting strength –
Look for some weakness in defense;
Then focus your attack on such,
Where walls collapse with gentle touch.Don’t steal, but give; don’t kill, give life;
Do not destroy, to dark give light;
In kindness build up what you can;
Breached walls can’t acts of love withstand.Okay Lord, thanks for this.
