At parete & vos,quandoquidem parere eſt melius,

Et ſumite ex armento ſeptem flexipedes greſſum-ſinuantes boves

Quàm citiſſimè, & ſeptem arietes villoſos.

Et ite jam ad Jobum, ut veſtræ gratiâ culpæ

Offeratís victimas pulchras ſuper multo-nidore-abundantes

Et ſervus meus Jobus bono-auſpicio oret, ( aras,

Si fortè propitius vobis ſim: grata autem ipſe

Semper dona dat mihi, jámque ſcio quòd dabit.

Quem ex corde diligo, honorat verò me maximè omnium:

Qui enim mihi obtemperaverit, valde exaudio illum.

Alioqui ſanè vos ſtatim luituros arbitror,

Quoniam non eſt mens vobis ſana, neque rectè,

Sicut ſervus meus Jobus, de me eſtis locuti.

Ἀλλὰ πίθεσθε καὶ ὔμμες, ἐπεὶ πείθεσθαι ἄμεινον,

Καὶ λάβετ' ἐξ ἀγέλης ἑφθ' εἰλίποδας ἕλικας βῦς

Ὀππιτάχιστα, καὶ ἑπτ' ἀρνειὸς πηγεσιμάλλους·

Καὶ ἴτε δὴ πρὸς Ἴωβον, ἵν' ὑμετέρης ἕνεκ' ἄτης

Ἔρδοιθ' ἱερὰ καλὰ πολυκλαύστων ἐπὶ βωμῶν,

Καὶ θεράπων μὸς Ἴωβος ἐναίσιμον εὐχετόῳτο,

Εἴ πω ἵλαος ὔμμιν ἑῷ κεχαρισμένα δ' αὐτὸς

Αἰεὶ δῶρα δίδωσιν ἐμοί, νῦν τ' οἶδ' ὅτι δώσει.

Τὸν περὶ κῆρι φίλησα, τίει δέ με ἔξοχος ἄλλων·

Ὅς γὰρ ἐμοὶ ἐπιπείθεται, μάλα τ' ἔκλυον αὐτοῦ.

Ἄλλως γ' αὖ ὑμέας τάχ' ἐπαυρήσεσθαι όΐω,

Οὕνεκ' ἄρ οὐκ εἰσὶ φρένες ἔμπεδοι, οὐδὲ κατ' αἶσαν,

Ὡς θεράπων μὸς Ἴωβος, ἐμεῦ πέρι μυθήσασθε.

[8] But you too, be persuaded, since to obey is better, and take from the herd seven oxen, rolling-footed, curved-horned, as fast as possible, and seven rams, thick-fleeced. And go now to Job, so that on account of your folly you may perform noble sacrifices upon much-lamented altars, and my servant Job may pray duly, if perhaps he may be gracious to you and himself give acceptable gifts always to me; and now I know that he will give. Him I loved with all my heart, and he honors me, preeminent above others. For whoever obeys me, I have heard him well. Otherwise again I think that you will soon have your fill, because your minds are not steadfast, nor according to what is right, as my servant Job — you have spoken about me.
