And all his brothers and sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first; and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas of gold, even of unstamped [gold].

And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

And Job died, an old man and full of days: [ 42:17A] and it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up. [ 42:17B] This man is described in the Syriac book as living in the land of Uz, on the borders of Edom and Arabia: and his name before was Jobab; [ 42:17C] and having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was Ennon. And he himself was the son of his father Zare, one of the sons of Esau, and of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from Abraham. [ 42:17D] And these were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over: first, Balak, the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dennaba: but after Balak, Jobab, who is called Job, and after him Asom, who was governor out of the country of Teman: and after him Adad, the son of Barad, who destroyed Midian in the plain of Moab; and the name of his city was Gethaim.

And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.

Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness; he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come.

Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth; and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall surround you.

and [if] you give bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon day;

Rejoice not against me, mine enemy; for I have fallen yet shall arise; for though I should sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me.

I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He make good my cause: He also shall maintain my right, and shall bring me out to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.

And it shall come to pass in that day that there shall be no light,

and there shall be for one day cold and frost, and that day [shall be] known to the Lord, and [it shall] not [be] day, nor night: but towards evening it shall be light.

But to you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in His wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he should see the Lord's Christ.

for my eyes have seen Your salvation

a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory to Your people Israel."

And King David blessed the Lord before the congregation, saying, Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting and to everlasting.

Let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find Him ready as the morning, and He will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
