1Then Job answered the Lord, and said$1

2I know that you canst do all things, and no thought is hid from you.

3Who is this that hideth guidance without knowledge? Therefore I have said unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.

5With the hearing of the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.

6Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.

12And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

13And he had seven sons, and three daughters.

14And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil.

15And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job$1 and their father gave them gift among their brothers and sisters.

16And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, to the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days.

66Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed your commands.

71It is good for me that you have humbled me, that I may learn your commands.

75I know, OH Lord, that your judgments are equity: and in your truth you have humbled me.

91By your law the day goes on: for all things serve you.

125I am your servant: give me understanding that I may know your teachings.

130The declaration of your words gives light: and gives understanding to little ones.

17And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in your name.

18And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven.

19Look, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you.

20But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject to you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

21In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to you, OH Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it has seemed good in your sight.

22All things are rescued to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal him.

23And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.

24For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.
