Jesus called Herod a fox
At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal’” (Luke 13:31-32). NIV
I find that a bit humorous.

I wondered when this reference (Herod as a fox) was going to be mentioned, since it is the first one that popped into my mind. I find Ruth 4:3-6 to be humorous. The near kinsman is all set to redeem the land until he finds out he will also be marrying Ruth. He does some quick backtracking to make sure he doesn’t mar his own inheritance, thus clearing the way for Boaz to marry Ruth.

Good point Sandra. I had thought before about the near kinsman giving away his rights when he learned about marrying Ruth. Just hadn’t thought about it in regard to this nudge. Thanks for pointing that out. “All things work together for good to those that love the Lord” (Romans 8:28).
