There was a man
in the land
of Uz,
whose name
was Job;
and that man
was perfect
and upright,
and one that feared
God,
and eschewed
evil.

And there were born
unto him seven
sons
and three
daughters.
His substance
also was seven
thousand
sheep,
and three
thousand
camels,
and five
hundred
yoke
of oxen,
and five
hundred
she asses,
and a very
great
household;
so that this man
was the greatest
of all the men
of the east.

And his sons
went
and feasted
in their houses,
every one
his day;
and sent
and called
for their three
sisters
to eat
and to drink
with them.
And it was so, when the days
of their feasting
were gone about,
that Job
sent
and sanctified
them, and rose up early
in the morning,
and offered
burnt offerings
according to the number
of them all: for Job
said,
It may be
that my sons
have sinned,
and cursed
God
in their hearts.
Thus did
Job
continually.

Now there was a day
when the sons
of God
came
to present
themselves before the LORD,
and Satan
came
also among
them.
And the LORD
said
unto Satan,
Whence
comest
thou? Then Satan
answered
the LORD,
and said,
From going to and fro
in the earth,
and from walking up and down
in it.

And the LORD
said
unto Satan,
Hast thou considered
my servant
Job,
that there is none like him in the earth,
a perfect
and an upright
man,
one that feareth
God,
and escheweth
evil?
say
Then Satan
answered
the LORD,
and said,
Doth Job
fear
God
for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge
about him, and about
his house,
and about all that he hath on every side?
thou hast blessed
the work
of his hands,
and his substance
is increased

But
put forth
thine hand
now, and touch
all that he hath, and he will curse
thee to thy face.
And the LORD
said
unto Satan,
Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;
only upon himself put not forth
thine hand.
So Satan
went forth
from the presence
of the LORD.

And there was a day
when his sons
and his daughters
were eating
and drinking
wine
in their eldest
brother's
house:
And there came
a messenger
unto Job,
and said,
The oxen
were plowing,
and the asses
feeding
beside
them:
And the Sabeans
fell
upon them, and took them away;
yea, they have slain
the servants
with the edge
of the sword;
and I only am escaped
alone to tell
thee.
While he was yet speaking,
there came
also another, and said,
The fire
of God
is fallen
from heaven,
and hath burned up
the sheep,
and the servants,
and consumed
them; and I only am escaped
alone to tell
thee.
say
While he was yet speaking,
there came
also another, and said,
The Chaldeans
made out
three
bands,
and fell
upon the camels,
and have carried them away,
yea, and slain
the servants
with the edge
of the sword;
and I only am escaped
alone to tell
thee.

While he was yet speaking,
there came
also another, and said,
Thy sons
and thy daughters
were eating
and drinking
wine
in their eldest
brother's
house:
And, behold, there came
a great
wind
from
the wilderness,
and smote
the four
corners
of the house,
and it fell
upon the young men,
and they are dead;
and I only am escaped
alone to tell
thee.
Then Job
arose,
and rent
his mantle,
and shaved
his head,
and fell down
upon the ground,
and worshipped,
And said,
Naked
came I out
of my mother's
womb,
and naked
shall I return
thither: the LORD
gave,
and the LORD
hath taken away;
blessed
be the name
of the LORD.
In all this Job
sinned
not, nor charged
God
foolishly.
