The Anagrammed Bible

by Feòrag

The Anagrammed Bible is:

an anagrammatic paraphrase of three complete books of the Old Testament. The letters in each verse (or, in some cases, block of verses) from the King James Version Bible are transformed into a new text with a similar meaning - sometimes straightforwardly, sometimes more fancifully, but always with respect for the meaning of the Biblical text and, of course, strict adherence to the anagram rule.

And most amusing it is too. For example, Proverbs 19:6 reads Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts in the King James Version, but the Anagrammed Bible is much blunter:

If that guy hath gold, every transient rat (victim in need of help) wants a five from him. Earn it!
