1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil. 2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred […]

1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day, 2 and this is what he said: 3 May the day perish on which I was born, and the night, in which it was said, “A man has been conceived.” 4 May that day be turned into darkness, may God not seek it from […]

1 My soul is weary of my life. I will release my words against myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I will say to God: Do not be willing to condemn me. Reveal to me why you judge me this way. 3 Does it seem good to you, if you […]
