Yakov," said Shmuel, "He invented light. He created the world. He made us both. The true miracle is belief. I believe in Him. Job said, 'Though he slay me, yet will I trust in Him.' He said more but that's enough." "To win a lousy bet with the devil he killed off all the servants and innocent children of Job. For that alone I hate him, not to mention ten thousand pogroms.
