1There 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 eschewed{H5493}{(H8802)} evil{H7451}.
2And there were born{H3205}{(H8735)} unto him seven{H7651} sons{H1121} and three{H7969} daughters{H1323}.
3His 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 men{H1121} of the east{H6924}.
4And his sons{H1121} went{H1980}{(H8804)} and feasted{H4960}{H6213}{(H8804)} in their houses{H1004}, every one{H376} his day{H3117}; and sent{H7971}{(H8804)} and called{H7121}{(H8804)} for their three{H7969} sisters{H269} to eat{H398}{(H8800)} and to drink{H8354}{(H8800)} with them.
5And it was so, when the days{H3117} of their feasting{H4960} were gone about{H5362}{(H8689)}, that Job{H347} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} and sanctified{H6942}{(H8762)} them, and rose up early{H7925}{(H8689)} in the morning{H1242}, and offered{H5927}{(H8689)} burnt offerings{H5930} according to the number{H4557} of them all: for Job{H347} said{H559}{(H8804)}, It may be{H194} that my sons{H1121} have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}, and cursed{H1288}{(H8765)} God{H430} in their hearts{H3824}. Thus did{H6213}{(H8799)} Job{H347} continually{H3117}.
6Now there was a day{H3117} when the sons{H1121} of God{H430} came{H935}{(H8799)} to present{H3320}{(H8692)} themselves before the LORD{H3068}, and Satan{H7854} came{H935}{(H8799)} also among{H8432} them.
7And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Satan{H7854}, Whence{H370} comest{H935}{(H8799)} thou? Then Satan{H7854} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} the LORD{H3068}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, From going to and fro{H7751}{(H8800)} in the earth{H776}, and from walking up and down{H1980}{(H8692)} in it.
8And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Satan{H7854}, Hast thou considered{H7760}{(H8804)}{H3820} my servant{H5650} Job{H347}, that there is none like him in the earth{H776}, a perfect{H8535} and an upright{H3477} man{H376}, one that feareth{H3373} God{H430}, and escheweth{H5493}{(H8802)} evil{H7451}?
9Then Satan{H7854} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} the LORD{H3068}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Doth Job{H347} fear{H3372}{(H8804)} God{H430} for nought{H2600}?
10Hast not thou made an hedge{H7753}{(H8804)} about him, and about{H1157} his house{H1004}, and about all that he hath on every side{H5439}? thou hast blessed{H1288}{(H8765)} the work{H4639} of his hands{H3027}, and his substance{H4735} is increased{H6555}{(H8804)} in the land{H776}.
11But{H199} put forth{H7971}{(H8798)} thine hand{H3027} now, and touch{H5060}{(H8798)} all that he hath, and he will curse{H1288}{(H8762)}{H3808} thee to thy face{H6440}.
12And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Satan{H7854}, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power{H3027}; only upon himself put not forth{H7971}{(H8799)} thine hand{H3027}. So Satan{H7854} went forth{H3318}{(H8799)} from the presence{H6440} of the LORD{H3068}.
13And there was a day{H3117} when his sons{H1121} and his daughters{H1323} were eating{H398}{(H8802)} and drinking{H8354}{(H8802)} wine{H3196} in their eldest{H1060} brother's{H251} house{H1004}:
14And there came{H935}{(H8804)} a messenger{H4397} unto Job{H347}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, The oxen{H1241} were plowing{H2790}{(H8802)}, and the asses{H860} feeding{H7462}{(H8802)} beside{H3027} them:
15And the Sabeans{H7614} fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon them, and took them away{H3947}{(H8799)}; yea, they have slain{H5221}{(H8689)} the servants{H5288} with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}; and I only am escaped{H4422}{(H8735)} alone to tell{H5046}{(H8687)} thee.
16While he was yet speaking{H1696}{(H8764)}, there came{H935}{(H8802)} also another, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, The fire{H784} of God{H430} is fallen{H5307}{(H8804)} from heaven{H8064}, and hath burned up{H1197}{(H8799)} the sheep{H6629}, and the servants{H5288}, and consumed{H398}{(H8799)} them; and I only am escaped{H4422}{(H8735)} alone to tell{H5046}{(H8687)} thee.
17While he was yet speaking{H1696}{(H8764)}, there came{H935}{(H8802)} also another, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, The Chaldeans{H3778} made out{H7760}{(H8804)} three{H7969} bands{H7218}, and fell{H6584}{(H8799)} upon the camels{H1581}, and have carried them away{H3947}{(H8799)}, yea, and slain{H5221}{(H8689)} the servants{H5288} with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}; and I only am escaped{H4422}{(H8735)} alone to tell{H5046}{(H8687)} thee.
18While he was yet speaking{H1696}{(H8764)}, there came{H935}{(H8802)} also another, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thy sons{H1121} and thy daughters{H1323} were eating{H398}{(H8802)} and drinking{H8354}{(H8802)} wine{H3196} in their eldest{H1060} brother's{H251} house{H1004}:
19And, behold, there came{H935}{(H8804)} a great{H1419} wind{H7307} from{H5676} the wilderness{H4057}, and smote{H5060}{(H8799)} the four{H702} corners{H6438} of the house{H1004}, and it fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon the young men{H5288}, and they are dead{H4191}{(H8799)}; and I only am escaped{H4422}{(H8735)} alone to tell{H5046}{(H8687)} thee.
20Then Job{H347} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and rent{H7167}{(H8799)} his mantle{H4598}, and shaved{H1494}{(H8799)} his head{H7218}, and fell down{H5307}{(H8799)} upon the ground{H776}, and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)},
21And said{H559}{(H8799)}, Naked{H6174} came I out{H3318}{(H8804)} of my mother's{H517} womb{H990}, and naked{H6174} shall I return{H7725}{(H8799)} thither: the LORD{H3068} gave{H5414}{(H8804)}, and the LORD{H3068} hath taken away{H3947}{(H8804)}; blessed{H1288}{(H8794)} be the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}.
22In all this Job{H347} sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} not, nor charged{H5414}{(H8804)} God{H430} foolishly{H8604}.
