In a culture where we unilaterally declare that 'everything is beautiful' and 'all is true,' the ironies produced will always abound...

From Psalm 104
5 He laid the foundations of the earth that it never should move at any time. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment the waters stand in the hills. 7 At thy rebuke they flee at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid. 8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys beneath even unto the place which thou hast appointed for them. 9 Thou hast set them their bounds which they shall not pass neither turn again to cover the earth. 10 He sendeth the springs into the rivers
which run among the hills. 11 All beasts of the field drink thereof and the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation and sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from above the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. 14 He bringeth forth grass for the cattle and green herb for the service of men; 15 That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen man's heart. 16 The trees of the Lord also are full of sap even the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted; 17 Wherein the birds make their nests and the fir-trees are a dwelling for the stork. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats and so are the stony rocks for the conies. 19 He appointed the moon for certain seasons and the sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness that it may be night wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. 21 The lions roaring after their prey do seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, and they get them away together and lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.
