2 Timothy 3:16-17 New English Translation (NET Bible)

16 Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.

 

No thought for the moment did the well run dry?

At times my cup overflows and sometimes it just cries

 

Where is inspiration when denseness overrules?

Does it disappear into hiding as my longings drool?

 

Is there a lock on sorrow or on the absence of grief?

As it removes inspiration in this world of unbelief

 

If the embrace of indifference and have things in the right place

Is this not a major hindrance to the confused human race?

 

Where is now sensitivity for the needs of foe or friend?

Does this hamper productivity as we give with empty hands?

 

Unless we give of ourselves we really give much of nothing

But if we’re filled with emptiness is that good for something?

 

To give what we don’t have and fill others with it

Does it reproduce ourselves in the form of a nitwit?

 

Are you still with me as I scribble on?

Well this is not all of it as I keep rambling on

 

Hmm …
