A man, there was - in the land of Uz, Job, his name, - and that man was blameless and upright, and one who revered God, and avoided evil.

And so it was, when the days of the banquet came round, that Job sent and hallowed them, and rising early in the morning offered ascending-sacrifices according to the number of them all; for Job said, Peradventure my sons have sinned, and have cursed God in their hearts. Thus and thus, was Job wont to do all the days.

And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one revering God and avoiding evil?

And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Is it, for nought, that Job revereth God?

And, a messenger, came in unto Job, and said, - The oxen, were plowing, and, the asses, feeding beside them;

Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell to the earth and worshipped;

In all this, Job sinned not, nor imputed folly unto God.

And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, - and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.

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.

Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, - they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, - for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort him.

After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

So then Job began, and said:

Then responded Job, and said: -

Then responded Job, and said -

And Job again took up his measure, and said: -

And Job again took up his measure, and said,

Instead of wheat, let there come forth bramble, and, instead of barley, a bad-smelling weed! Ended are the words of Job.

So these three men ceased to respond to Job, because, he, was righteous in their eyes.

Then was kindled the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram, - against Job, was kindled his anger, because he justified his own soul rather than God;

But, Elihu, had waited for Job with words, because the others were older than he.

Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, - But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches.

But, in very deed, hear, I pray thee, Job, my discourse, and, to all my words, give thou ear.

Mark well, O Job, and hearken to me, Be silent, and, I, will speak:

For Job hath said - I am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right;

What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water;

Job, without knowledge, doth speak, and, his words, are not with discretion.

Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:

Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.

Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders of GOD: -

Then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said: -

And Yahweh responded to Job, and said: -

Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: -

So then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said: -

And it came to pass, after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, that Yahweh, said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, Kindled is mine anger against thee and against thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, - for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, - and Yahweh accepted Job.

And, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends, - and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.

And, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, - and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

And there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, - and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.

And Job lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, - and saw his sons and his sons' sons, four generations.

So Job died, old and satisfied with days.

Then should these three men be in the midst thereof, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they by their righteousness should deliver their own lives - Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

Were Noah, Daniel and Job n the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness should deliver only their own lives.

Lo! we pronounce them happy who have endured; - Of the endurance of Job, ye have heard, and, the end of the Lord, have ye seen, - that, of much tender affection, is the Lord, and full of compassion,
