Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.

None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.

So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

< > As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul after you, God.
