And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.

It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes: There was'silence, and I heard a voice,'saying ,

And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;

And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind ?
