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

•  And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

  ¹⁴ And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

  ¹⁵ 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.

  ¹⁷ 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:

  ¹⁹ 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.
• 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.
