@ 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
.
strkjv@Job:1:2
@ And there were
born
unto him
seven
sons
and
three
daughters
.
strkjv@Job:1:3
@ 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
.
strkjv@Job:1:4
@ 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.
strkjv@Job:1:5
@ 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
.
strkjv@Job:1:6
@ Now there was a
day
when the
sons
of
God
came
to
present
themselves before the
LORD
, and
Satan
came
also
among
them.
strkjv@Job:1:7
@ 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.
strkjv@Job:1:8
@ 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
?
strkjv@Job:1:9
@ Then
Satan
answered
the
LORD
, and
said
, Doth
Job
fear
God
for
nought
?
strkjv@Job:1:10
@ 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
in the
land
.
strkjv@Job:1:11
@
But
put
forth
thine
hand
now, and
touch
all that he hath, and he will
curse
thee to thy
face
.
strkjv@Job:1:12
@ 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
.
strkjv@Job:1:13
@ And there was a
day
when his
sons

eating

drinking
wine
in their
eldest

house

strkjv@Job:1:14
@ And there
came
a
messenger
unto
Job

said

oxen
were
plowing
, and the
asses
feeding
beside
them:
strkjv@Job:1:15
@ 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.
strkjv@Job:1:16
@ 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

out
three

fell
upon the
camels

away

slain
the

a

wind
from
the

the

dead

arose
