Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 001

001:001

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

001:002

And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters

001:003

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

001:004

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

001:005

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

001:006

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them

001:007

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

001:008

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

001:009

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought

001:010

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

001:011

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face

001:012

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

001:013

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house

001:014

And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them

001:015

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

001:016

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 escaped alone to tell thee

001:017

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 thee

001:018

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house

001:019

And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote 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 thee

001:020

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped

001:021

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD

001:022

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly
