A quote from an Aramaic biblical manuscript in the Dead Sea Scrolls
A beautiful handwritten manuscript of the book of Job can be found amongst the Aramaic corpus from the Dead Sea. Certain features of this text and other historical data indicate that Job was originally written in Aramaic rather than in Hebrew. I have transcribed the following quotation from 11Q10, column XXXVII lines 7 and 8. This text has been published a few times, see for example [3], p. 1201. Here it is:

Transliteration: 'Lmishema` 'aden shema`thak wak`an `ayni hazthak'
Translation: ' “An ear that may hear, I have heard you and now, my eyes, I have seen you!'
