Constipation can be a real problem. I know this firsthand as I have struggled with Irritable Bowel Syndrome my entire life!
When things aren't flowing as they should, your entire system feels clogged up. A person known to be constipated can sometimes get a wee bit cranky as you just feel a bit out of sorts. It can also lead to some mild depression, particularly if as soon as you get over one bout of constipation, you start a new one.
I bring up this uncomfortable topic because of what I recently read in Jeremiah 4:19:
Maybe, his bowels were impacted! It would be hard to show your loving side if his insides were filled with non-moving crap.
Of course, this DOES raise other important questions. What does God eat? How often does he eat it? Shouldn't an omniscient being KNOW what sorts of foods lead to constipation? Does he lack willpower and self-control?

My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.To be honest, I never realized that God had bowels. Now that I know, I think it could go along way toward explaining WHY God spends a good deal of his time throughout the Old Testament being cranky and cross.
