* * * * *
[Illustration:
Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be thy Name
Thus did Job continually
There was a Man in the Land of Uz whose Name was Job. & that Man was
perfect & upright & one that feared God & eschewed Evil & there was
born unto him Seven Sons & Three Daughters
The Letter Killeth The Spirit giveth Life
It is Spiritually Discerned]
[Illustration:
I beheld the Ancient of Days Hast thou considered my Servant Job
The Angel of the Divine Presence
I shall see God
We shall awake up
Thou art our Father
in thy Likeness
When the Almighty was yet with me. When my Children were about me
There was a day when the Sons of God came to present themselves before
the Lord & Satan came also among them to present himself before the
Lord]
[Illustration:
The Fire of God is fallen from Heaven
And the Lord said unto Satan. Behold All that he hath is in thy Power
Thy Sons and thy Daughters were eating & drinking Wine in their eldest
Brothers house & behold there came a great wind from the Wilderness &
smote upon the four faces of the house & it fell upon the young Men &
they are Dead]
[Illustration:
And there came a Messenger unto Job & said The Oxen were plowing & the
Sabeans came down & they have slain the Young Men with the Sword
Going to & fro in the Earth & walking up and down in it
And I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was yet speaking there came also another & said
The fire of God is fallen from the heaven & hath burned up the flocks &
the Young Men & consumed them & I only am escaped alone to tell thee]
[Illustration:
Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my Soul afflicted
for the Poor
Behold he is in thy hand: but save his life
Then went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord
And it grieved him at his heart
Who maketh his Angels Spirits & his Ministers a Flaming Fire]
[Illustration:
Naked came I out of my mothers womb & Naked shall I return thither
The Lord gave & the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the Name of the
Lord
And smote Job with sore Boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of
his head]
[Illustration:
What! shall we receive Good at the hand of God & shall we not also
receive Evil
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off & knew him not they lifted
up their voices & wept. & they rent every Man his mantle & sprinkled
dust upon their heads towards heaven
Ye have heard of the Patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord]
[Illustration:
Lo let that night be solitary & let no joyful voice come therein
Let the Day perish wherein I was Born
And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days & seven nights &
none spake a word unto him for they saw that his grief was very great]
[Illustration:
Shall mortal Man be more Just than God? Shall a Man be more Pure than
his Maker? Behold he putteth no trust in his Saints & his Angels he
chargeth with Folly
Then a Spirit passed before my face the hair of my flesh stood up]
[Illustration:
But he knoweth the way that I take when he hath tried me I shall come
forth like gold
Have pity upon me! Have pity upon me. O ye my friends for the hand of
God hath touched me
Though he slay me yet will I trust in him
The Just Upright Man is laughed to scorn
Man that is born of a Woman is of few days & full of trouble he cometh
up like a flower & is cut down he fleeth also as a shadow & continueth
not. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one & bringest me into
judgment with thee]
[Illustration:
My bones are pierced in me in the night season & my sinews take no rest
My skin is black upon me & my bones are burned with heat
The triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the hypocrite is but
for a moment
Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of Light & his Ministers
into Ministers of Righteousness
With Dreams upon my bed thou scarest me & affrightest me with Visions
Why do you persecute me as God & are not satisfied with my flesh. Oh
that my words were printed in a Book that they were graven with an iron
pen & lead in the rock for ever
For I know that my Redeemer liveth & that he shall stand in the latter
days upon the Earth & after my skin destroy thou This body yet in my
flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for Myself and mine eyes shall
behold & not Another tho consumed be my wrought Image
Who opposeth & exalteth himself above all that is called God or is
Worshipped]
[Illustration:
For God speaketh once yea twice & Man percieveth it not
In a Dream in a Vision of the Night in deep Slumberings upon the bed
Then he openeth the ears of Men & sealeth their instruction
That he may withdraw Man from his purpose & hide Pride from Man If
there be with him an Interpreter One among a Thousand
then he is gracious unto him & saith Deliver him from going down to the
Pit I have found a Ransom
For his eyes are upon the ways of Man & he observeth all his goings
I am Young and ye are very Old wherefore I was afraid
Lo all these things worketh God oftentimes with Man to bring back his
Soul from the Pit to be enlightened with the light of the living
Look upon the heavens & behold the clouds which are higher than thou
If thou sinnest what doest thou against him or if thou be righteous
what givest thou unto him]
[Illustration:
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge
Then the Lord answered Job out of the Whirlwind
Who maketh the Clouds his Chariot & walketh on the Wings of the Wind
Hath the Rain a Father & who hath begotten the Drops of Dew]
[Illustration:
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades or loose the bands of
Orion
Let there Be Light
Let there be A Firmament
Let the Waters be gathered together into one place & let the Dry Land
appear
And God made Two Great Lights Sun Moon
Let the Waters bring forth abundantly
Let the Earth bring forth Cattle & Creeping thing & Beast
When the morning Stars sang together & all the Sons of God shouted for
joy]
[Illustration:
Can any understand the spreadings of the Clouds the noise of his
Tabernacle
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud He scattereth the bright
cloud also it is turned about by his counsels
Of Behemoth he saith, He is chief of the ways of God Of Leviathan he
saith, He is King over all the Children of Pride
Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee]
[Illustration:
Hell is naked before him & Destruction has no covering
Canst thou by searching find out God Canst thou find out the Almighty
to perfection
The Accuser of our Brethren is Cast down which accused them before our
God day & night
It is higher than Heaven what canst thou do It is deeper than Hell what
canst thou know
The Prince of this World shall be cast out
Thou hast fulfilled the Judgment of the Wicked
Even the Devils are Subject to Us thro thy Name. Jesus said unto them I
saw Satan as lightning fall from Heaven
God hath chosen the foolish things of the World to confound the wise
And God hath chosen the weak things of the World to confound the things
that are mighty]
[Illustration:
He bringeth down to the Grave & bringeth up
we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see
him as He Is
When I behold the Heavens the work of thy hands the Moon & Stars which
thou hast ordained, then I say, What is Man that thou art mindful of
him? & the Son of Man that thou visitest him
I have heard thee with the hearing of the Ear but now my Eye seeth thee
He that hath seen me hath seen my Father also I & my Father are One
If you had known me ye would have known my Father also and from
henceforth ye know him & have seen him
Believe me that I am in the Father & the Father in me He that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father for he dwelleth in you & shall be with you
He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father & I will love him &
manifest myself unto him And my Father will love him & we will come
unto him & make our abode with him
And the Father shall give you Another Comforter that he may abide with
you for ever Even the Spirit of Truth which the World Cannot receive
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father & you in me & I in you
If ye loved me ye would rejoice because I said I go unto the Father]
[Illustration:
Also the Lord accepted Job
And my Servant Job shall pray for you
And the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his Friends
I say unto you Love your Enemies bless those that curse you do good to
those that hate you & pray for those that despitefully use & persecute
you
That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven, for he
maketh his sun to shine on the Evil & the Good & sendeth the rain on
the Just & the Unjust
Be ye therefor perfect as your Father which is in heaven is perfect]
[Illustration:
The Lord maketh Poor & maketh Rich
He bringeth Low & Lifteth Up
who provideth for the Raven his Food When his young ones cry unto God.
Every one also gave him a piece of Money
Who remembered us in our low estate For his Mercy endureth forever]
[Illustration:
How precious are thy thoughts unto me O God how great is the sum of
them
There were not found Women fair as the Daughters of Job in all the Land
& their Father gave them Inheritance among their Brethren
If I ascend up into Heaven thou art there If I make my bed in Hell
behold Thou art there]
[Illustration:
Great & Marvellous are thy Works Lord God Almighty
Just & True are thy Ways O thou King of Saints
So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning
After this Job lived an hundred & forty years & saw his Sons & his Sons
Sons
even four Generations So Job died being old & full of days
In burnt Offerings for Sin thou hast had no Pleasure]

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

opportunities to fix the problem.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
https://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
