yet the Book it self seemeth not to be a History, but a Treatise concerning a question in ancient time much disputed, "why wicked men have often prospered in this world, and good men have been afflicted;" and it is the most probably, because from the beginning, to the third verse of the third chapter, where the complaint of Job beginneth, the Hebrew is (as St. Jerome testifies) in prose; and from thence to the sixt verse of the last chapter in Hexameter Verses; and the rest of that chapter again in prose.
hasieratik hirugarren kapituluko hirugarren bertsetera arte, Joben erostak hasten diren arte, hebraierazko testua prosaz idatzita dagoela, San Jeronimoren lekukotzaz dakigunez; eta hortik hasi eta azken kapituluaren seigarren bertsetera arte, berriz, bertso hexametroz; eta kapituluaren gainerakoa berriz ere prosaz.
