Ὡς ἔφατ'· οὐδ' ἀπίθησε Θεῷ Ἐλιφᾶς Θαμανίτης,

Οὐδέ τε Σαυχαῖος Βελδάδ, Σωφάρ τε Μιναῖος·

Ἀλλ' οἱ μὲν θύεον καὶ ὐχωλῆς ἀγανῇσι

Λοιβῇ τε κνίσῃ τε παρατρωπῶντες ἔθελγον

Ἀθανάτοιο χόλον· τότε δὴ Θεῷ εὔχετ' Ἴωβος,

Θεῷ μὲν τ' εὔχετ' Ἴωβος, ὁ δ' ἔκλυεν εὐχωλῇσιν,

Μᾶλλόν μιν τ' ἐφίλησε, καί οἱ χάριν ἐγγυάλιξεν.

[9] So he spoke; and Eliphaz the Temanite did not disobey God, nor did Bildad the Shuhite, nor Zophar the Minaean; But they sacrificed and, with abundant offerings and savory fat, turning him aside, they soothed the wrath of the Immortal; Then indeed Job prayed to God — to God he prayed — and he heard his prayers, and loved him more, and granted him favor.

Sic dixit; ne q; que non-obtemperavit Deo Eliphas Thamanites,

Necnon Sauchæus Bildad, Sophárque Minæus:

Verùm hi ſacrificiis & votis placidis,

Libaminéque, nidoréque flectentes mulcebant

Immortalis animum: tum etiam Deum precatus eſt Jobus,

Deum precatus eſt Jobus, is autem audivit precantem,

Magíſque ipſum dilexit, & ei gratiam præbuit.
