The Book of Job in Poetry: Or, a Song in the Night (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Book of Job in Poetry: Or, a Song in the Night

The divisions of chapters of the Book of Job, in the common version of the Bible, are entirely arbitrary and unnatural. They occur in the middle of the speeches of J oh, Eliphaz, Elihu, and the Almighty. I have discarded this improper sacrifice of uninterrupted connection and sense to short breaks and pauses, and have adopted the more sirnple and regular divisions of the speeches of the various speakers into separate chapters.
