Certainly. Here are some examples - The book of Job contains numerous examples of satire and sarcasm. One such use of humor can be found in Job 13:5. The suffering hero of the story, having listened to the self-righteous pronunciations of his friends, utters the biting riposte: “If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom!” (all Scripture references NIV). Job’s retort is perhaps the earliest known expression of the sentiment, “Better to keep your mouth shut and have others think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Job, however, gets his comeuppance later in the story, in a passage that reveals that a sense of humor is among God’s attributes. For thirty-seven chapters, Job defends himself against the “comfort” of his friends and bemoans the fate that has befallen him. Finally, God himself speaks, answering Job “out of the storm” (Job 38:1). God poses a series of unanswerable questions to his complaining servant: “Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? . . . . Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place? . . . . Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?” Then God asks, tongue in cheek, “Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!” (Job 38:21). How God’s rejoinder must have stung Job; but, too, it may have prompted him to recognize the ridiculousness of his situation. After all, he had just challenged Almighty God--and lived to hear the answer! Have It Your Way Jesus displayed a likeness to his Father in every way, of course, not the least of which was his sense of humor. Matthew records Jesus’ encounter with a paralytic. When the Lord assured the cripple that his sins were forgiven, some in the crowd secretly accused Jesus of blasphemy. Knowing their thoughts, Jesus responded, “Which is easier: to say, `Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, `Get up and walk'?” Turning to the man (and, I like to imagine, with a knowing smile on his face), Jesus said, “Get up.” In twenty-first century vernacular, he might have shrugged his shoulders and said to his sanctimonious critics, “Have it your way--but I will heal him no matter what you say.” The Original Animal House Jesus’ love of humor is repeatedly betrayed in his parables. The Master could spin a yarn that would have half his audience fuming with anger and the other half doubled with laughter. One of his funniest stories is the oft-misunderstood story of the friend at midnight (Luke 11:7). Jesus told the tale of a man whose friend comes knocking on his door to borrow some bread for an unexpected late-night visitor. Jesus has the man respond from inside the house, “Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.” Jesus’ first-century listeners would have imagined that, as was common, the man’s dog, goats, chickens, and sheep would be locked inside with the family. The picture is one of a household aroused, if not by the persistent knocking of the friend, then certainly by the two men talking back and forth through the closed door! Jesus must have smiled himself at the image of the man’s stubborn refusals waking his wife and children--as well as his dog, goats, chickens, and sheep! Knock, Knock Chapter twelve of the book of Acts relates how, when the Apostle Peter was imprisoned by the religious authorities, the church prayed earnestly for his release. However, as events unfold, we learn that when God answered their prayers they weren’t quite prepared. In an episode that has more in common with I Love Lucy than with my friend’s dour conception of the Bible, Peter is released from prison by an angel and appears at the home of Mary (the mother of John Mark). A servant girl named Rhoda went to answer Peter’s knock, and the Bible records: “When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, ‘Peter is at the door!’” (Acts 12:14). Thus ensues a vaudevillian scene, with Peter left standing at the door, while the inhabitants of the home dash back and forth, arguing about whether it could be Peter or not---until someone gets the bright idea. . . to actually open the door! While You Were Sleeping It is evidence of God’s extravagant sense of humor that some of the funniest parts of Scripture revolve around the resurrection of Jesus. Saving the best for last requires me to skip over the actual events of the resurrection to the soldiers who reported to the chief priests. Upon hearing of the stone being rolled away and Jesus’ body being gone, the chief priests bribed the soldiers and told them, "You are to say, `His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.'” What a stupid lie! If they were sleeping when it all happened, how could they know it was the disciples who did the deed? But there’s something even funnier than all that: note that this strategy was not issued off the top of their heads. Oh, no! The Bible says, “the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan!” They had to have a high-level meeting to come up with that brilliant strategy! Not-So-Bravehearts The first Resurrection Sunday dawned with drama. A tiny group of grieving women wound through the garden to the tomb. Suddenly, mighty tremors shook the earth. An angel of the Lord descended on the tomb from heaven, rolled the stone from its place and sat on it, blazing with angelic refulgence. “The guards,” the Bible says, “were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.” Wow. But it’s the next verse that fairly shakes the page with ironic hilarity: “The angel said to the women. . .” Did you get that? The big, brave, burly soldiers fainted dead away, while the grieving women--who just moments before had worried because all of them put together weren’t strong enough to roll away the stone blocking the tomb--were still on their feet to hear what the angel had to say! It’s a good thing, too, for those women thus heard the most glorious newscast of all time: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said” (Matthew 28:4-6). The Bible holds many blessings for the receptive reader. Too often, we miss the blessing of holy laughter that waits for us there simply because we aren’t expecting it. So, even while you search the Word of God for comfort, instruction, and enlightenment, keep an eye out for the twist of wit or hint of humor. You may be surprised by a moment of holy joy. http://www.bobhostetler.com/writing/favorite008.html

I love where God swears by himself in the Bible: "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, ...'' (Genesis 22:16) "But if you do not obey these commands, I swear by myself, says the LORD: this palace shall become rubble." (Jeremiah 22:5) I swear by my own great name, says the LORD, in the whole land of Egypt no man of Judah shall henceforth pronounce my name, saying, "As the Lord GOD lives." (Jeremiah 44:26) With love in Christ.

The prophet Elijah having a battle royale with the prophets of Baal. The prophets of Baal claim that their god is greater than the true God of Israel and so they begin to call on Baal's power. Nothing happens. So the great prophet of God, Elijah... the man taken into Heaven by chariots of fire, begins to MOCK them. If you understand what he's saying, you'll get a good laugh. 1 Kings 18:20-39 highlight verse 27 "It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, 'Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened.'" (NASB) The phrase "gone aside" is the Hebrew word סיג (ciyg) from the root word סוג (cuwg) meaning refuse. SO lets put all the pieces back together. Elijah is seeing these prophets cut themselves and yell at the sky and he sits there and says, "Hey yell a little louder. Your god may be using the bathroom and he can't hear you. Or maybe he left town and didn't tell you. Or maybe he's just asleep." God will always make fools of those who rise up agasint Him. To God be the glory. Hope this helps! God bless!

The whole thing, really.

i am at 1631 if you really wANT IT...

This is a Great Website with the Holy Bible. You can take a look for what you are trying to find. Sorry to say, I am not to familiar with the Bible, but I am reading a little at a time. I hope you enjoy my little contribution. Good Luck→ http://hall4bc04.org/The_Bible.htm

1 kgs.18:27 tells a story of the prophet Elijah being sarcastic and humorous with the worshippers of baal tauting them that their god was maybe complaining or withdrawing to go to the bathroom. A straight read from KJV does not show this but if you really delve into the hebrew lexicons you'll find it. There are other examples but my keyboard is giving me a hard time today. blessings!
