Ὡς μὲν Ἴωβος ἔπειτα μακάρτερος ἦ τὸ πάρος περ,

Δὶς τόσον ἀφνειὸς, καὶ δὶς τόσον ὀλβιοδαίμων,

"Ὅσση ἔλεν τὰ πρῶτα, Θεοῦ μεγάλοιο ἕκητι.

"Ἦ γάρ οἱ ἦν μετόπισθε δὶς ἑπτηχίλια μῆλα

Πίονα καὶ δασύμαλλα, καὶ ὑψίλοφοί τε κάμηλοι

Δὶς τετραχίλιαι αὐτῷ ἐν οὔρεσι βουκολέοντο

Θήλειαι τοκάδες, (τὰ δ' διπλόα πάντα τέτυκτο)

Ζεύγεα δὶς δ' βοῶν πεντήκοσ' εὐρυμετώπων,

Καὶ δὶς ὄνοι πεντηκόσιαι, καὶ πάμπαλα πλείω.

[12] So then Job was more blessed than before, twice as wealthy and twice as happy-fated, as much as he had at first, by the will of the great God. For indeed he had afterward twice seven thousand sheep, fat and thick-fleeced, and high-crested camels twice four thousand grazing for him in the mountains, females with young (and all these had been made double), and twice fifty yoke of broad-browed oxen, and twice fifty donkeys, and all things far more abundant.

Ità Jobus poſtea felicior quàm antea,

Duplo ditior, & duplo fortunatior,

Quàm erat primùm, Dei magni voluntate.

Certè enim ei erant deinceps bis ſepties-mille oves,

Pingues & villoſæ, & elata-colla-habentes cameli

Bis ter-mille ei in montibus paſcebantur

Fœminæ fœtæ, (duplicia autem omnia facta erant)

Juga autem boum bis quingenta latas-frontes-habentium,

Et bis aſinæ quingentæ, & poſſeſſiones plures.
