Following in the footsteps of Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, Elon Musk has prepared a new edition of the Holy Bible. Wheat & Tares proudly and exclusively offers readers the following excerpts:

Xcerpt from the Book of Revelation

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels prevailed not.

Thus the great dragon was cast out out into the earth. The Devil, that old serpent, was DOGE’d, and his angels were DOGE’d with him. Behold, the efficiency of the Lord.

—Revelation 12:7-9, The Holy Bible, Elon Musk Version of the King James Version

Xcerpt from Genesis

And the Lord God said, “Behold, the man Adam is become as one of us, to know good and evil.” Now, lest he put forth his hand, and take from the tree of life, and never be great again, the Lord God sent Adam forth from the garden of Eden.

So God verily DOGE’d the man; and he placed Techbrohim at the east of the Garden of Eden, with a lithium-ion flaming sword that turned every way, to protect the Tree of X. Behold the efficiency of Jehovah and Elohim.

—Genesis 3:22-24, The Holy Bible, EMV-KJV

Xcerpt from Exodus

Behold the restructuring of the Lord’s feast, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped. Then the fanboys of Israel went and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.

And it came to pass, at midnight the Lord DOGE’d the people of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the fully-funded prison.

—Exodus 12:27-29, The Holy Bible, EMV-KJV

Xcerpt from Ruth

And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down. Then Ruth came softly and laid down at his feet. And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid: for behold… a woman.

And Boaz said, “Who art thou?” And she answered, “I am Ruth thine handmaid; be thou a provider and protector for thine handmaid.”

And Boaz said, “Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter. At the coming up of the sun, provide me a parchment, and list upon it thine accomplishments. If thou canst list five bullet points of what you did last week, then my daughter, fear not.”

—Ruth 3:7-11, The Holy Bible, EMV-KJV

Xcerpt from Jonah

And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, saying, “Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach against its fraud and waste.”

So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, and he cried, and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be DOGE’d.”

Then the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least, and did give themselves over to the efficiency of the Lord.

And God saw their works, and God repented of the evil, and said, “No, wait. Actually, I need you to labor all 40 days before I DOGE this city anyway.” And some Ninevites returned to their works. But others, having already hired out to privately funded cities, were never found in Nineveh again.

—Jonah 3, The Holy Bible, EMV-KJV


DISCLAIMER: It ought to go without saying that this post is satire. But to be clear: this post is satire. Honestly, my only real goal here is to encourage the use of “DOGE” as a verb.

Okay, readers, what is your reaction to the above excerpts? What other scriptural passages, including perhaps general conference addresses, could benefit from a DOGE-esque translation?
