     Yo le dire: "Aki esta el ultimo de los ke dizen ke aboltaron de aya, ama ke nunka aboltaron. Tomalo a Tu derecha. Metelo mas alto de kualkier otro porke pago un dasio enorme a la krueldad umana, i ke estos kuantos anyos de azlaha en sus echos nada son frente a los yisurin somportados por este Iyov de los tiempos modernos."

     I shall tell him, ‘Here is the last of those who say that they returned therefrom, yet they never returned. Stand him on your right side. Put him above everybody else since he paid an enormous tax to human cruelty, and these many years of success in their works are nothing [compared] to the sufferings endured by this one, Iyov, in modern times.’
