Poem
Job was exceedingly blessed by God Blessings that could not escape The envy of the satanic one Cause anything close to God receives attacks God watched over him constantly He gave him light as he walked through darkness God made him extraordinarily prosperous And God’s friendship protected his home Day and night he was surrounded by his children His cows and goats gave plenty milk While his olive-trees grew in the rockiest soil In the meetings of elders he took his proper place And on arrival young men stepped aside for him While old men stood up to show him respect Simultaneously leaders of the people would stop talking Even the most important men kept silent Everyone who heard or saw him Praised him for all his achievements To the poor who cried out to him He helped them To the hopeless orphans he gave succour Men in deepest misery praised him And he helped widows find security Job was eyes for the blind And feet for the lame And was like father to the poor And took the side of strangers in trouble As he destroyed the power of cruel men And rescued their victims He expected to live a long life And die at home in comfort He was like a tree whose roots always had water And whose branches were wet with dew He was always praised by Everyone And his strength never failed him Whenever he gave advice People listened attentively And when he was done No one had nothing to add His words sank like drops of rain And were always received Just as farmers welcomed rain in spring His cheerful smile restored confidence and hope As he took charge and made decisions Leading his people As a king leads his troops Giving them comfort in their despair
