The astounding poetry in the Book of Job is restored to its powerful ancient meanings and rhythms. The creation account in its Voice from the Whirlwind is beautiful and incendiary. By contrast, a serene fatalism suffuses Ecclesiastes with a quiet beauty, and the pithy maxims of Proverbs impart a worldly wisdom that is satirically shrewd. Each of these books addresses the universal wisdom that the righteous thrive and the wicked suffer in a rational moral order; together they are essential to the ancient canon that is the Hebrew Bible."/><meta property="og:title" content="The Wisdom Books: Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes: A Translation with Commentary"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=TujOn209Ts8C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71cLDkXsd4ym7NGWaIjAm7KCQ9qhvGEXltT9jLn6QJMgRmVrZzVlygiefwVPdtf8Au5QBEZrlcR8Z3PvoAd97Td8OqRy_8Z5rg0ne8nl_rz0_so_qJo8LTk8Te_qFYowGvactST"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=TujOn209Ts8C&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71cLDkXsd4ym7NGWaIjAm7KCQ9qhvGEXltT9jLn6QJMgRmVrZzVlygiefwVPdtf8Au5QBEZrlcR8Z3PvoAd97Td8OqRy_8Z5rg0ne8nl_rz0_so_qJo8LTk8Te_qFYowGvactST"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DTujOn209Ts8C%26q%3Dupright%26source%3Dgbs_word_cloud_r%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=TujOn209Ts8C&q=upright&source=gbs_word_cloud_r&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

The astounding poetry in the Book of Job is restored to its powerful ancient meanings and rhythms. The creation account in its Voice from the Whirlwind is beautiful and incendiary. By contrast, a serene fatalism suffuses Ecclesiastes with a quiet beauty, and the pithy maxims of Proverbs impart a worldly wisdom that is satirically shrewd. Each of these books addresses the universal wisdom that the righteous thrive and the wicked suffer in a rational moral order; together they are essential to the ancient canon that is the Hebrew Bible.","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PA394","order":411,"title":"394"}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DTujOn209Ts8C%26q%3Dupright%26source%3Dgbs_word_cloud_r%26hl%3Den\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PA207","highlights":[{"X":223,"Y":213,"W":42,"H":14},{"X":164,"Y":376,"W":37,"H":13},{"X":85,"Y":391,"W":38,"H":14},{"X":137,"Y":407,"W":38,"H":14},{"X":81,"Y":423,"W":38,"H":14}],"flags":8,"order":224,"vq":"upright"}]},null,{"number_of_results":18,"search_results":[{"page_id":"PA11","page_number":"11","snippet_text":"... \u003cb\u003eupright\u003c/b\u003e and feared God and shunned evil .
