UV & The Old Testament

About light
Job says
How I long for the months gone by,
for the days when God watched over me,
when his lamp shone upon my head
and by his light I walked through darkness!

U2 says
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby Baby Baby light my way

About death
Job says
I prefer strangling and death,
rather than this body of mine.
I despise my life; I would not live forever.
Let me alone; my days have no meaning.

U2 says
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out

About God's love as treasure
Job says
Why is light given to those in misery,
and life to the bitter of soul,
to those who long for death that does not come,
who search for it more than for hidden treasure?

U2 says
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
Thats been passed around

About dark nights and long days
Job says
Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,
or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages,
so I have been allotted months of futility,
and nights of misery have been assigned to me.

U2 says
Wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long

About feeling really rotten
Job says
When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’
The night drags on, and I toss till dawn.
My body is clothed with worms and scabs,
my skin is broken and festering.

U2 says
Feel like trash
