The Book of Job 42: 1-3, 5-6, 12-16

42:1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, wahi a:
42:2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
42:3 So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? No laila, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
42:5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
42:6 No laila, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
42:12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
42:13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
42:14 And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
42:15 A, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
42:16 But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation, and he died an old man and full of days.

Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to Luke 10: 17-24

10:17 Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, e olelo ana, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
10:18 I mai la oia ia lakou: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
10:19 Aia hoi, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
10:20 ʻOiaʻiʻo naʻe, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
10:21 In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Makuakāne, Lord of heaven and earth, no ka mea, ua huna oe i keia mau mea i ka poe naauao a me ka poe noonoo, a ua hoike aku ia mau mea i na kamalii. It is so, Makuakāne, because this way was pleasing before you.
10:22 Ua haawiia mai na mea a pau ia'u e ko'u Makua. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
10:23 And turning to his disciples, wahi āna: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
10:24 For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
