Job 16:11
Context
11“God hands me over to ruffians
         And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.

12“I was at ease, but He shattered me,
         And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces;
         He has also set me up as His target.

13“His arrows surround me.
         Without mercy He splits my kidneys open;
         He pours out my gall on the ground.

14“He breaks through me with breach after breach;
         He runs at me like a warrior.

15“I have sewed sackcloth over my skin
         And thrust my horn in the dust.

16“My face is flushed from weeping,
         And deep darkness is on my eyelids,

17Although there is no violence in my hands,
         And my prayer is pure.

18“O earth, do not cover my blood,
         And let there be no resting place for my cry.

19“Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
         And my advocate is on high.

20“My friends are my scoffers;
         My eye weeps to God.

21“O that a man might plead with God
         As a man with his neighbor!

22“For when a few years are past,
         I shall go the way of no return.

Epistle Xlv. To Theoctista, Patrician .
To Theoctista, Patrician [153] . Gregory to Theoctista, &c. We ought to give great thanks to Almighty God, that our most pious and most benignant Emperors have near them kinsfolk of their race, whose life and conversation is such as to give us all great joy. Hence too we should continually pray for these our lords, that their life, with that of all who belong to them, may by the protection of heavenly grace be preserved through long and tranquil times. I have to inform you, however, that I have

Mr. Bunyan's Last Sermon:
Preached August 19TH, 1688 [ADVERTISEMENT BY THE EDITOR] This sermon, although very short, is peculiarly interesting: how it was preserved we are not told; but it bears strong marks of having been published from notes taken by one of the hearers. There is no proof that any memorandum or notes of this sermon was found in the autograph of the preacher. In the list of Bunyan's works published by Chas. Doe, at the end of the 'Heavenly Footman,' March 1690, it stands No. 44. He professes to give the title-page,

Job
The book of Job is one of the great masterpieces of the world's literature, if not indeed the greatest. The author was a man of superb literary genius, and of rich, daring, and original mind. The problem with which he deals is one of inexhaustible interest, and his treatment of it is everywhere characterized by a psychological insight, an intellectual courage, and a fertility and brilliance of resource which are nothing less than astonishing. Opinion has been divided as to how the book should be
