Job:1:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job ;
and this man was perfect and upright ,
and one that feared God and abstained from evil .
*
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters .
*
And his substance was seven thousand sheep ,
and three thousand camels ,
and five hundred yoke of oxen ,
and five hundred she-asses ,
and very many servants ;
and this man was greater than all the children of the east .
*
And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day ;
and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them .
*
And it was so ,
when the days of the feasting were gone about ,
that Job sent and hallowed them ;
and he rose up early in the morning ,
and offered up burnt-offerings [
according to ]
the number of them all ;
for Job said ,
It may be that my children have sinned ,
and cursed God in their hearts .
Thus did Job continually .
