The poems below could have been engraved on the headstones of famous Bible people. After reading each one, try to guess who is being described.

11. I had a captive audience with the one who filled the stands. But when I gave in to the crowd, I simply washed my hands.

13. The prophecies within my book announce the Lord's anointed. Although I don't come out and say it, it's clear to whom they pointed.
14. With boils and heartache and trouble I sat in some sackcloth and said, "Why is it that God keeps me living? I would surely be better off dead!"

16. His mother told him, "Stay away, Son, from Philistine girls, though they look like fun!" Like me, a pagan woman from Sorek Valley, to whom Samson was just another tally. Don't blame me that he lies in his grave; all I did was give him a shave.
17. I stood head and shoulders above all the rest; my words were always profane, till a shepherd boy took a stone from a brook, spun it round, let it go - what an aim!
