Job

Famous quotes containing the word job:

    Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of the one whose knowledge is perfect, you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind? Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror?

    A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where
    is the place thereof,
    —Bible: Hebrew Job (l. XXXVIII, 19)
