1:1 There
was
a
man
in
the
land
of
Uz
whose
name
was
Job,
and
that
man
was
blameless
and
upright,
one
who
feared
God
and
turned
away
from
evil.
1:2 There
were
born
to
him
seven
sons
and
three
daughters.
1:3 He
possessed
7,000
sheep,
3,000
camels,
500
yoke
of
oxen,
and
500
female
donkeys,
and
very
many
servants,
so
that
this
man
was
the
greatest
of
all
the
people
of
the
east.
1:4 His
sons
used
to
go
and
hold
a
feast
in
the
house
of
each
one
on
his
day,
and
they
would
send
and
invite
their
three
sisters
to
eat
and
drink
with
them.
1:5 And
when
the
days
of
the
feast
had
run
their
course,
Job
would
send
and
consecrate
them,
and
he
would
rise
early
in
the
morning
and
offer
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
Job
did
continually.
1:6 Now
there
was
a
day
when
the
sons
of
God
came
to
present
themselves
before
the
LORD,
and
Satan
also
came
among
them.
1:7 The
LORD
said
to
Satan,
"From
where
have
you
come"
Satan
answered
the
LORD
and
said,
"From
going
to
and
fro
on
the
earth,
and
from
walking
up
and
down
on
it."
1:8 And
the
LORD
said
to
Satan,
"Have
you
considered
my
servant
Job,
that
there
is
none
like
him
on
the
earth,
a
blameless
and
upright
man,
who
fears
God
and
turns
away
from
evil"
1:9 Then
Satan
answered
the
LORD
and
said,
"Does
Job
fear
God
for
no
reason
1:10 Have
you
not
put
a
hedge
around
him
and
his
house
and
all
that
he
has,
on
every
side
You
have
blessed
the
work
of
his
hands,
and
his
possessions
have
increased
in
the
land.
1:11 But
stretch
out
your
hand
and
touch
all
that
he
has,
and
he
will
curse
you
to
your
face."
1:12 And
the
LORD
said
to
Satan,
"Behold,
all
that
he
has
is
in
your
hand.
Only
against
him
do
not
stretch
out
your
hand."
So
Satan
went
out
from
the
presence
of
the
LORD.
1:13 Now
there
was
a
day
when
his
sons
and
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
their
oldest
brother's
house,
1:14 and
there
came
a
messenger
to
Job
and
said,
"The
oxen
were
plowing
and
the
donkeys
feeding
beside
them,
1:15 and
the
Sabeans
fell
upon
them
and
took
them
and
struck
down
the
servants
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell
you."
1:16 While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another
and
said,
"The
fire
of
God
fell
from
heaven
and
burned
up
the
sheep
and
the
servants
and
consumed
them,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell
you."
1:17 While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another
and
said,
"The
Chaldeans
formed
three
groups
and
made
a
raid
on
the
camels
and
took
them
and
struck
down
the
servants
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell
you."
1:18 While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another
and
said,
"Your
sons
and
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
their
oldest
brother's
house,
1:19 and
behold,
a
great
wind
came
across
the
wilderness
and
struck
the
four
corners
of
the
house,
and
it
fell
upon
the
young
people,
and
they
are
dead,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell
you."
1:20 Then
Job
arose
and
tore
his
robe
and
shaved
his
head
and
fell
on
the
ground
and
worshiped.
1:21 And
he
said,
"Naked
I
came
from
my
mother's
womb,
and
naked
shall
I
return.
The
LORD
gave,
and
the
LORD
has
taken
away;
blessed
be
the
name
of
the
LORD."
1:22 In
all
this
Job
did
not
sin
or
charge
God
with
wrong.
