[1]There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780, whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and that manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and one that fearedH3373 GodH430, and eschewedH5493[H8802] evilH7451.
[2]And there were bornH3205[H8735] unto him sevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323.
[3]His substanceH4735 also was sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she assesH860, and a veryH3966 greatH7227 householdH5657; so that this manH376 was the greatestH1419 of all the menH1121 of the eastH6924.
[4]And his sonsH1121 wentH1980[H8804] and feastedH4960[H6213][H8804] in their housesH1004, every oneH376 his dayH3117; and sentH7971[H8804] and calledH7121[H8804] for their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398[H8800] and to drinkH8354 with themH8800.
[5]And it was so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 were gone aboutH5362[H8689], that JobH347 sentH7971[H8799] and sanctifiedH6942[H8762] them, and rose up earlyH7925[H8689] in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927[H8689] burnt offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559[H8804], It may beH194 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398[H8804], and cursedH1288[H8765] GodH430 in their heartsH3824. Thus didH6213[H8799] JobH347 continuallyH3117.
[6]Now there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935[H8799] to presentH3320[H8692] themselves before the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935[H8799] also among themH8432.
[7]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto SatanH7854, WhenceH370 comestH935[H8799] thou? Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030[H8799] the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], From going to and froH7751[H8800] in the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 in itH8692.
[8]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH7760[H8804][H3820] my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493[H8802] evilH7451?
[9]Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030[H8799] the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], Doth JobH347 fearH3372[H8804] GodH430 for noughtH2600?
[10]Hast not thou made an hedgeH7753[H8804] about him, and aboutH1157 his houseH1004, and about all that he hath on every sideH5439? thou hast blessedH1288[H8765] the workH4639 of his handsH3027, and his substanceH4735 is increasedH6555[H8804] in the landH776.
[11]ButH199 put forthH7971[H8798] thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060[H8798] all that he hath, and he will curseH1288[H8762][H3808] thee to thy faceH6440.
[12]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto SatanH7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy powerH3027; only upon himself put not forthH7971[H8799] thine handH3027. So SatanH7854 went forthH3318[H8799] from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.
[13]And there was a dayH3117 when his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323 were eatingH398[H8802] and drinkingH8354[H8802] wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
[14]And there cameH935[H8804] a messengerH4397 unto JobH347, and saidH559[H8799], The oxenH1241 were plowingH2790[H8802], and the assesH860 feedingH7462[H8802] beside themH3027:
[15]And the SabeansH7614 fellH5307[H8799] upon them, and took them awayH3947[H8799]; yea, they have slainH5221[H8689] the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422[H8735] alone to tellH5046 theeH8687.
[16]While he was yet speakingH1696[H8764], there cameH935[H8802] also another, and saidH559[H8799], The fireH784 of GodH430 is fallenH5307[H8804] from heavenH8064, and hath burned upH1197[H8799] the sheepH6629, and the servantsH5288, and consumedH398[H8799] them; and I only am escapedH4422[H8735] alone to tellH5046 theeH8687.
[17]While he was yet speakingH1696[H8764], there cameH935[H8802] also another, and saidH559[H8799], The ChaldeansH3778 made outH7760[H8804] threeH7969 bandsH7218, and fellH6584[H8799] upon the camelsH1581, and have carried them awayH3947[H8799], yea, and slainH5221[H8689] the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422[H8735] alone to tellH5046 theeH8687.
[18]While he was yet speakingH1696[H8764], there cameH935[H8802] also another, and saidH559[H8799], Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 were eatingH398[H8802] and drinkingH8354[H8802] wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
[19]And, behold, there cameH935[H8804] a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060[H8799] the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307[H8799] upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191[H8799]; and I only am escapedH4422[H8735] alone to tellH5046 theeH8687.
[20]Then JobH347 aroseH6965[H8799], and rentH7167[H8799] his mantleH4598, and shavedH1494[H8799] his headH7218, and fell downH5307[H8799] upon the groundH776, H7812and worshippedH8691
[21]And saidH559[H8799], NakedH6174 came I outH3318[H8804] of my mother'sH517 wombH990, and nakedH6174 shall I returnH7725[H8799] thither: the LORDH3068 gaveH5414[H8804], and the LORDH3068 hath taken awayH3947[H8804]; blessedH1288[H8794] be the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
[22]In all this JobH347 sinnedH2398[H8804] not, nor chargedH5414[H8804] GodH430 foolishlyH8604.
