Job trusted in God, and He delivered him from all the tribulation that the Devil, the enemy of the children of men, brought upon him; for he did not cease to bless God his Creator, nor was his heart grieved by the tribulation that came upon him. He said: The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; as it pleased the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord in heaven and on earth in all things. And because he did not let his heart be grieved, God saved him.
And He gave him wealth more abundant than his former wealth, and He healed him of his wounds, because of his patience in all that came upon him; for he was exceedingly patient.
Be patient, then, and do not let your hearts grieve over the tribulation that comes upon you, that God may be a refuge to you from those who set themselves against you, and over your children and your children's children after you.
Trust in Him, and He shall be a refuge to you; call upon Him, and He shall be one who hears you; hope in Him, and He shall be merciful to you; ask of Him, and He shall be a Father to you.
But upon those who desire to do evil, He shall requite evil; for God is righteous, and shows no partiality of person; but all who fear Him and do righteousness, He shall keep their souls, and shall give them honor and grace.
And He shall make them joyful in their going out and their coming in, in their death and their life, in their dwelling, and in their rising up; for He makes alive and puts to death.
祂必使他們在出入之間、生死之間、安居與起身之間都歡喜快樂;因為祂能使人活,也能使人死。
8:11
ወውእቱ፡ ይቀሥፍ፡ ወይሣሃል።
And He smites and has compassion.
祂能擊打,也能施憐憫。
8:12
ወውእቱ፡ ያነዲ፡ ወያበልዕ፡ ወውእቱ፡ ያኃሥር፡ ወያከብር።
And He makes poor and gives food; and He humbles and exalts.
