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

42:1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, dixit:
42:2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
42:3 Sic, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Ergo, 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 Ergo, 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 Et, 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.

Evangelium'

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam 10: 17-24

10:17 Reversi sunt autem septuaginta duo cum gaudio, dicens, "Dominus", etiam daemones nobis subduntur, in nomine tuo."
10:18 Et dixit eis: "Vigila ut satanas cecidit sicut fulgur de caelo.
10:19 Ecce, potestatem dedi vobis calcandi supra serpentes et scorpiones, et in omnes hostium potestates, et nihil vobis noceat.
10:20 Sed vere, nolite gaudere hoc, quod spiritus tibi subiciuntur; sed gaudete quoniam nomina vestra scripta sunt in caelis.
10:21 Eadem hora, Exultavit in Spiritu Sancto, et dixit: "Fateor tibi", Pater, Dominus caeli et terrae, abscondisti enim haec a sapientibus et prudentibus, et revelavi ea parvulis. Ita est, Pater, quia hoc modo tibi placuit.
10:22 Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo scit quis sit Filius, nisi Pater, et qui pater est?, nisi filius, et quibus voluerit Filius revelare.
10:23 Et conversus ad discipulos suos, dixit: "Beati oculi qui vident quod tu vides".
10:24 dico enim vobis, quod multi prophetae et reges voluerunt videre quae vos videtis, et non viderunt, et audire quae auditis, et non audierunt eos.
