Classics of Literature, Religion/Spirituality

The World English Bible (WEB): Job is an ancient religious text from the Hebrew Bible, likely composed in the early centuries of the first millennium BCE. It tells the story of Job, a virtuous man who endures profound suffering, including the loss of his children and wealth, while maintaining his faith. This translation by Stephen Mitchell is notable for being the first to render the Hebrew verse of Job into English verse, providing a unique poetic experience. The work explores themes of suffering, divine justice, and the human condition, making it a significant text for theological and philosophical discussions.

“But self-abasement is just inverted egoism. Anyone who acts with genuine humility will be as far from humiliation as from arrogance.””

“Remember: life is a breath; soon I will vanish from your sight.The eye that looks will not see me; you may search, but I will be gone.Like a cloud fading in the sky, man dissolves into death.He leaves the whole world behind him and never comes home again.””

“I am speechless: what can I answer?I put hand on my mouth.I have said too much already;now I will speak no more.””

“May the day of my birth perish. May it turn to darkness. May God above not care about it. May no light shine on it. May gloom and utter darkness claim it once more. May a cloud settle over it. May blackness overwhelm it. May thick darkness seize it. May it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months. May that night be barren. May no shout of joy be heard in it. May those who curse days curse that day. May its morning stars become dark. May it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn, for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes.Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb? Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed? For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest.Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure, who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water.What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.””

“How I long for the months gone by,for the days when God watched over me,when his lamp shone on my headand by his light I walked through darkness!Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,when the Almighty was still with meand my children were around me,when my path was drenched with creamand the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.””

“they that provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee: 12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 12:9 Who knoweth””
