And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.

Thus to the poor hath come hope, and, perversity, hath shut her mouth.

The earth, hath been given into the hand of a lawless one, The faces of her judges, he covereth, If not, then who is it?

His bull, covereth, and causeth not aversion, His cow safely calveth, and casteth not her young;

Let my wife, grind to another, and, over her, let others bend!

Surely, from my youth, he grew up to me, as to a father, and, from my birth, I acted as guide to her:

And said - Hitherto, shalt thou come, and no further, - and, here, shalt thou set a limit to the majesty of thy waves?

Canst thou bring forth the signs of the Zodiac each in its season? Or, the Bear and her Young, canst thou lead?

For she leaveth - to the earth - her eggs, and, on the dust, she letteth them be warmed;

Dealing hardly with her young, as none-of hers, In vain, her labour, without dread.

For GOD hath suffered her to forget wisdom, and given her no share in understanding.

What time, on high, she vibrateth her wings, she laugheth at the horse and his rider.
