The whole jist of this puzzle is to get every row column and diagnal to equal 34 while using the numbers 1 - 16. The solution looks like this (not sure how it will format on a message board but I don't feel like doing one in paint).
1---15---6---12
8---10---3---13
11---5---16---2
14---4---9---7

ya it was 34. diagonals didn't matter, here's the answer:

and here's the original puzzle:
There is something for you, but you must be able to open it. If you know your Job well, the magic will do the trick.
A
My spirit is broken,
my days are cut short,
the grave awaits me.
B
You have closed their minds to understanding;
therefore you will not let them triumph.
C
My eyes have grown dim with grief;
my whole frame is but a shadow.
D
turn night into day;
in the face of the darkness light is near.
E
if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,'
and to the worm, ‘My mother' or ‘My sister,'
F
Will it go down to the gates of death?
Will we descend together into the dust?"
