The text is a play on the biblical beatitude 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,' but it twists the ending to create a humorous and unexpected outcome by substituting 'inherit the earth' with 'make great scapegoats.' This substitution creates a pun by juxtaposing the expected religious or moral lesson with a cynical twist.
Blessed are the meek , for they make great scapegoats .
