So then the Jews smote all their enemies, with the smiting of the sword and slaughter, and destruction, - and they dealt with them who hated them according to their pleasure.

And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan, - and, the ten sons of Haman, they hanged.

So the Jews who were in Shusan assembled themselves together, on the fourteenth day also, of the month Adar, and slew in Shusan three hundred men, - but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.

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.

Now there came a certain day, when the sons of God entered in to present themselves unto Yahweh, - so the accuser also entered, in their midst.

And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Lo! all that he hath, is in thy hand, only, against himself, do not put forth thy hand. So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh.

And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh - so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.

Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.

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.

So then Job began, and said:

Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes.

So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same:

Lo! as for this, we have searched it out - so, it is, Hear it, and know, thou, for thyself.

So might it still be my comfort, And I might exult in the anguish he would not spare, - That I had not concealed the sayings of the Holy One.

So, have I been made to inherit months of calamity, and, nights of weariness, have been appointed me.

A cloud faileth, and is gone, So, he that descendeth to hades, shall not come up:

So that my soul chooseth strangling, Death, rather than these my bones!

So shall thy beginning appear small, - when, thy latter end, he shall greatly increase!

So, shall be the latter end of all who forget GOD, and, the hope of the impious, shall perish:

Of a truth, I know that so it is, But how can a mortal be just with GOD?
