The Wisdom Books: Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes: A Translation with CommentaryHere in Robert Alter's bold new translation are some of the most magnificent works in world literature. The astounding poetry in the Book of Job is restored to its powerful ancient meanings and rhythms. The creation account in its Voice from the Whirlwind is beautiful and incendiary. By contrast, a serene fatalism suffuses Ecclesiastes with a quiet beauty, and the pithy maxims of Proverbs impart a worldly wisdom that is satirically shrewd. Each of

Here in Robert Alter's bold new translation are some of the most magnificent works in world literature. The astounding poetry in the Book of Job is restored to its powerful ancient meanings and rhythms. The creation account in its Voice from the Whirlwind is beautiful and incendiary. By contrast, a serene fatalism suffuses Ecclesiastes with a quiet beauty, and the pithy maxims of Proverbs impart a worldly wisdom that is satirically shrewd. Each of these books addresses the universal wisdom that the righteous thrive and the wicked suffer in a rational moral order; together they are essential to the ancient canon that is the Hebrew Bible.

Moisturizing
This lip balm is really nice. I am constantly buying new lip balm, and this has really impressed me. It keeps your lips very moisturized for quite a long time. I thought it was going to be the size of chap stick, but it’s actually the size of an Elmers glue stick, so it’s well worth the price. I will definitely buy again, if I ever run out 😁

This lip balm is the bomb
This lip balm is the bomb! Slight pleasant orange scent and application is smooth and creamy! I don’t think I’ll use any other moisturizing lip product in the future. Love it!
