This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII. JOB. 1. Job began, and spake: 2. Truly ye are a people, And wisdom shall expire with you! 3. But I have understanding as well as you; I surrender not myself as vanquished!a 1 The simple meaning of these often misunderstood words is, You. three speak so as if the entire wisdom of your tribe were concentrated in you.
