* And a day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD . And Satan also came among them . * And the LORD said to Satan , From where do you come ? Then Satan answered the LORD and said , From going to and fro in the earth , and from walking up and down in it . * And the LORD said to Satan , Have you set your heart against My servant Job , because [there is ] none like him in the earth , a perfect and upright man , one who fears God and turns away from evil ? * And Satan answered the LORD and said , Does Job fear God for nothing ? * Have You not made a hedge around him , and around his house , and around all that he has on every side ? You have blessed the work of his hands , and his livestock have increased in the land . * But put forth Your hand now , and touch all that he has , and he will curse You to Your face . * And the LORD said to Satan , Behold , all that he has [is ] in your power . Only do not lay your hand upon him . And Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD . * And a day came when his sons and his daughters [were ] eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother 's house . * And there came a messenger to Job and said , The oxen were plowing , and the asses feeding beside them . * And the Sabeans fell [on ] and took them away . Yea , they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword . And I only have escaped alone to tell you . * While he [was ] still speaking , there also came [another ] and said , The fire of God has fallen from the heavens and has burned up the sheep and the servants , and destroyed them . And I only have escaped alone to tell you . * While he [was ] still speaking , there also came [another ] and said , The Chaldeans made out three bands and swooped down upon the camels , and have carried them away , yea , and have killed the servants with the edge of the sword . And I only have escaped alone to tell you . * While he [was ] still speaking , there also came another and said , Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother 's house . * And , behold , a great wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house , and it fell upon the young men , and they are dead . And I only have escaped alone to tell you . * And Job arose , and tore his robe , and shaved his head , and fell down upon the ground and worshiped . * And he said , I came naked out of my mother 's womb , and naked shall I return there . The LORD gave , and the LORD has taken away . Blessed [be ] the name of the LORD . * In all this Job did not sin , nor charge God foolishly .
