Job was going through great affliction,
The pains were so many that his heart was dying.
Some friends came to cry with him,
For many days they did not say anything.
After crying and being silent, Job pronounced,
The day that he was born, he cursed.
For him, there was no sense living in that way,
He thought it was better to have his last living day.
Something pleasant, their friends tried to say,
They tried to justify their friend’s pains.
But they could not calm down the spirit of Job.
Job spoke that he would justify himself before God.
Those who were with Job tried to exhort him,
But affliction did not allow him to consider anything.
Job thought that God had come to punish him,
And there will be no end to his suffering.
The Lord came to speak after that argumentation,
God came to hear Job’s justification.
He said that before Him there is no vindication,
God’s designs cannot be explained.
The only thing left for humans is to accept them.
Job’s wisdom and knowledge, the Lord questioned,
He did not reply and humiliated himself in the powder.
Job admitted that God’s will was not clear to him,
And the plans of God were not comprehended by him.
God ordered them to sacrifice,
They would do atonement for their lives.
Job’s affliction was eliminated by the Lord,
The wealth that Job had was doubled by God.
After that, for many days, Job lived,
Old and full of richness, he has died.
