Righteous Job the Much-Suffering, Troparion, Tone I

Troparion - Tone I

Seeing the richness of the virtues of Job,/ the enemy of the righteous plotted to steal them;/ yet though he broke down the tower of his body,/ he could not steal the treasure of his spirit;/ for he who, having stripped me naked, took me captive/ found the soul of the blameless one fully armed./ Wherefore, anticipating my need before the end, O Savior,// deliver me from the deceiver and save me.

Kontakion, Tone VIII: "As the firstfruits..."

Kontakion - Tone VIII

Shown to be truthful and righteous, pious, blameless and sanctified, O most glorious one,/ thou true favorite of God, thou hast enlightened the world with thy patience, O most patient and valiant one.// Wherefore, O thou who art divinely wise, we all hymn thy memory.
