Job:1:6-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ,
Whence come you ?
Then Satan answered the LORD ,
and said ,
From going back and forth in the earth ,
and from walking up and down in it .
*
And the LORD said unto Satan ,
Have you considered my servant Job ,
that there is none like him in the earth ,
a perfect and an upright man ,
one that fears God ,
and turns away from evil ?
*
Then Satan answered the LORD ,
and said ,
Does Job fear God for nothing ?
*
Have not you made an hedge about him ,
and about his house ,
and about all that he has on every side ?
you have blessed the work of his hands ,
and his substance is increased in the land .
*
But put forth yours hand now ,
and touch all that he has ,
and he will curse you to your face .
*
And the LORD said unto Satan ,
Behold ,
all that he has is in your power ;
only upon himself put not forth yours hand .
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD .
*
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother '
s house :
*
And there came a messenger unto Job ,
and said ,
The oxen were plowing ,
and the asses feeding beside them :
*
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 you .
*
While he was yet speaking ,
there came also another ,
and said ,
The fire of God is fallen from heaven ,
and has burned up the sheep ,
and the servants ,
and consumed them ;
and I only am escaped alone to tell you .
*
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 you .
*
While he was yet speaking ,
there came also another ,
and said ,
Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother '
s house :
*
And ,
behold ,
there came a great wind from the wilderness ,
and stroke 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 you .
*
Then Job arose ,
and rent his mantle ,
and shaved his head ,
and fell down upon the ground ,
and worshipped ,
*
And said ,
Naked came I out of my mother '
s womb ,
and naked shall I return thither :
the LORD gave ,
and the LORD has taken away ;
blessed be the name of the LORD .
*
In all this Job sinned not ,
nor charged God foolishly .
