There was a man{H376} in the land{H776} of Uz,{H5780} whose name{H8034} was Job;{H347} and that man{H376} was perfect{H8535} and upright,{H3477} and one that feared{H3373} God,{H430} and turned{H5493} away from evil.{H7451}

And there were born{H3205} unto him seven{H7651} sons{H1121} and three{H7969} daughters.{H1323}

His substance{H4735} also was seven{H7651} thousand{H505} sheep,{H6629} and three{H7969} thousand{H505} camels,{H1581} and five{H2568} hundred{H3967} yoke{H6776} of oxen,{H1241} and five{H2568} hundred{H3967} she-asses,{H860} and a very{H3966} great{H7227} household;{H5657} so that this man{H376} was the greatest{H1419} of all the children{H1121} of the east.{H6924}

And his sons{H1121} went{H1980} and held a feast{H4960} in the house of each{H376} one{H376} upon his day;{H3117} and they sent{H7971} and called{H7121} for their three{H7969} sisters{H269} to eat{H398} and to drink{H8354} with them.

And it was so, when the days{H3117} of their feasting{H4960} were gone about,{H5362} that Job{H347} sent{H7971} and sanctified{H6942} them, and rose up early{H7925} in the morning,{H1242} and offered{H5927} burnt-offerings{H5930} according to the number{H4557} of them all: for Job{H347} said,{H559} It may be{H194} that my sons{H1121} have sinned,{H2398} and renounced{H1288} God{H430} in their hearts.{H3824} Thus did{H6213} Job{H347} continually.{H3117}

Now it came to pass on the day{H3117} when the sons{H1121} of God{H430} came{H935} to present{H3320} themselves before Jehovah,{H3068} that Satan{H7854} also came{H935} among{H8432} them.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Satan,{H7854} Whence{H370} comest{H935} thou? Then Satan{H7854} answered{H6030} Jehovah,{H3068} and said,{H6030} From going to and fro{H7751} in the earth,{H776} and from walking up and down{H1980} in it.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Satan,{H7854} Hast thou considered{H7760} my servant{H5650} Job?{H347} for there is none like him in the earth,{H776} a perfect{H8535} and an upright{H3477} man,{H376} one{H376} that feareth{H3373} God,{H430} and turneth away from evil.{H7451}

Then Satan{H7854} answered{H6030} Jehovah,{H3068} and said,{H559} Doth Job{H347} fear{H3372} God{H430} for nought?{H2600}

Hast not thou made a hedge{H7753} about him, and about{H1157} his house,{H1004} and about all that he hath, on every side?{H5439} thou hast blessed{H1288} the work{H4639} of his hands,{H3027} and his substance{H4735} is increased{H6555} in the land.{H776}

But{H199} put forth{H7971} thy hand{H3027} now, and touch{H5060} all that he hath, and he will renounce{H1288} thee to thy face.{H6440}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Satan,{H7854} Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;{H3027} only upon himself put not forth{H7971} thy hand.{H3027} So Satan{H7854} went forth{H7971} from the presence{H6440} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And it fell on a day{H3117} when his sons{H1121} and his daughters{H1323} were eating{H398} and drinking{H8354} wine{H3196} in their eldest{H1060} brother's{H251} house,{H1004}

that there came{H935} a messenger{H4397} unto Job,{H347} and said,{H559} The oxen{H1241} were plowing,{H2790} and the asses{H860} feeding{H7462} beside{H3027} them;

and the Sabeans{H7614} fell{H5307} [upon them], and took them away:{H3947} yea, they have slain{H5221} the servants{H5288} with the edge{H6310} of the sword;{H2719} and I only am escaped{H4422} alone to tell{H5046} thee.

While he was yet speaking,{H1696} there came{H935} also another, and said,{H559} The fire{H784} of God{H430} is fallen{H5307} from heaven,{H8064} and hath burned up{H1197} the sheep{H6629} and the , servants,{H5288} and consumed{H398} them; and I only am escaped{H4422} alone to tell{H5046} thee.

While he was yet speaking,{H1696} there came{H935} also another, and said,{H559} The Chaldeans{H3778} made{H7760} three{H7969} bands,{H7218} and fell{H6584} upon the camels,{H1581} and have taken them away,{H3947} yea, and slain{H5221} the servants{H5288} with the edge{H6310} of the sword;{H2719} and I only am escaped{H4422} alone to tell{H5046} thee.

While he was yet speaking,{H1696} there came{H935} also another, and said,{H559} Thy sons{H1121} and thy daughters{H1323} were eating{H398} and drinking{H8354} wine{H3196} in their eldest{H1060} brother's{H251} house;{H1004}

and, behold, there came{H935} a great{H1419} wind from{H5676} the wilderness,{H4057} and smote{H5060} the four{H702} corners{H6438} of the house,{H1004} and it fell{H5307} upon the young men,{H5288} and they are dead;{H4191} and I only am escaped{H4422} alone to tell{H5046} thee.

Then Job{H347} arose,{H6965} and rent{H7167} his robe,{H4598} and shaved{H1494} his head,{H7218} and fell down{H5307} upon the ground,{H776} and worshipped;{H7812}

and he said,{H559} Naked{H6174} came I out{H3318} of my mother's{H517} womb,{H990} and naked{H6174} shall I return{H7725} thither: Jehovah{H3068} gave,{H5414} and Jehovah{H3068} hath taken away;{H3947} blessed{H1288} be the name{H8034} of Jehovah.{H3068}

In all this Job{H347} sinned{H2398} not, nor charged{H5414} God{H430} foolishly.{H8604}
