For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.

They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.

If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.

I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.
