Irmos: On the plain of Dura the tyrant once set up a furnace for the torment of the God-fearing, but therein the three children hymned the one God; and the three of them chanted, saying: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Against the foe strengthen the Orthodox hierarchs who call thee blessed, O venerable Job, and put it in their hearts to strengthen the Church. And for all of us beseech God to grant us oneness of mind, love one for another, and zeal for Orthodoxy.
Theotokion: Let us praise Mary, the all-pure and most holy; for through her is the grace of the gifts of the Spirit poured forth upon us in manner past understanding, as from a torrent of divine goodness. Let us bless her now with pious resolve.
I am unable to drink of the cup of thy life, wretch that I am, O Lord; but, twined about by the thorns of the passions and the fear of tribulations, yet do I pray: Have mercy upon me through the prayers of Job, Thy favored one, and help me to shake off sinful sloth.
Disdaining the broad path which leadeth to the destruction of the soul, O venerable Job, thou didst confine thyself within a narrow cave and didst not turn aside from the straight path when thou wast abbot, remaining day and night in prayer and labors, giving beneficial instruction to all who came to thee.
Thou wast compassionate to the poor, merciful to the penitent, and a meek teacher for those in need of instruction, a lover of divine wisdom, a preacher of the commandments of the Gospel, a printer of books and a fearless denouncer of heresy.
