⁶ Whereupon were the foundations of it fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,

² For he has founded it on the seas, And established it on the floods.

²⁵ Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

⁶ and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

¹⁰ Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.

¹¹ Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money,{Literally, kesitah, a unit of money, probably silver} and everyone a ring of gold.

¹² So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

⁸ Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel;

¹⁷ Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel;

¹⁰ And made them kings and priests to our God, And they reign on earth."

⁵ There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

¹⁴ For out of prison he came forth to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

⁶ He doesn't preserve the life of the wicked, But gives to the afflicted their right.

⁷ He doesn't withdraw his eyes from the righteous, But with kings on the throne, He sets them forever, and they are exalted.

⁸ He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
