COLLECTING BIBLES
He’s collected Bibles for fun,
Without reading much in each one…
It’s totally deploring
He insists on ignoring
The word of God and its wisdom!
–
He really should spend time,
Whether or not he feels inclined…
To dig in deeper,
He may find it cheaper
To read one or two at a time.
–
Unless one is “parallel”*
Switching among three or four could be hell…
Verse-by-verse comparison
Could be harassing,
But try it, if you think I can’t tell.
–Jonathan Caswell
*A Parallel Bible looks at three or so Bible translations verse-by-verse at the same time. There is one dealing with the New Testament that compares major differences of over 35 versions, more or less, at once!
By the Mighty Mumford 
A great reflection on our modern-day tendency to digest short snatches of multiple versions of scripture. Great work, and wisely stated!
