Job 1

Job's Character and Wealth

1

There was a manh376 in the  alandh776 of Uzh5780 whose nameh8034 was  bJobh347; and that manh376 was  cblamelessh8535, uprighth3477,  dfearingh3372a Godh430 and  eturningh5493 awayh5493 from evilh7451b.

2

 aSevenh7651 sonsh1121 and threeh7969 daughtersh1323 were bornh3205 to him.

3

 aHis possessionsh4735 also were 7,000h7651h505 sheeph6629, 3,000h7969h505 camelsh1581, 500h2568h3967 yokeh6776 of oxenh1241, 500h2568h3967 femaleh860 donkeysh860, and veryh3966 manyh7227a servantsh5657; and that manh376 was  bthe greatesth1419 of allh3605 the  1menh1121 of the easth6924a.

4

His sonsh1121 used to goh1980 and holdh6213a a feasth4960 in the househ1004 of eachh376 oneh376 on his dayh3117, and they would sendh7971 and inviteh7121 their threeh7969 sistersh269 to eath398 and drinkh8354 with them.

5

Whenh3588 the daysh3117 of feastingh4960 had completedh5362b their cycleh5362b, Jobh347 would sendh7971 and consecrateh6942 them, risingh7925 up earlyh7925 in the morningh1242 and offeringh5927  aburnth5930a offeringsh5930a according to the numberh4557 of them allh3605; for Jobh347 saidh559, " bPerhapsh194 my sonsh1121 have sinnedh2398 and  ccursedh1288 Godh430 in their heartsh3824." Thush3602 Jobh347 didh6213a continuallyh3605h3117.

6

 aNow there was a dayh3117 when the  bsonsh1121 of Godh430 cameh935 to presenth3320 themselves beforeh5921 the LORDh3068, and  1Satanh7854 alsoh1571 cameh935 amongh8432 them.

7

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to Satanh7854, "From whereh370 do you comeh935?" Then Satanh7854 answeredh6030a the LORDh3068 and saidh559, " aFrom roamingh7751a abouth7751a on the earthh776 and walkingh1980 aroundh1980 on it."

8

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to Satanh7854, "Have you  1consideredh7760h3820h5921  aMy servanth5650 Jobh347? For thereh369 is noh369 oneh369 likeh3644 him on the earthh776,  ba blamelessh8535 and uprighth3477 manh376,  2fearingh3372a Godh430 and turningh5493 awayh5493 from evilh7451b."

9

Then  aSatanh7854 answeredh6030a the  1LORDh3068, "Does Jobh347 fearh3372a Godh430 for nothingh2600?

10

aHave You not madeh7753 a hedgeh7753 abouth1157 him and his househ1004 and allh3605 that he has, on everyh5439 sideh5439?  bYou have blessedh1288 the workh4639 of his handsh3027, and his  cpossessionsh4735 have increasedh6555 in the landh776.

11

aBut puth7971 forthh7971 Your handh3027 nowh4994 and  btouchh5060 allh3605 that he has; he will surelyh518h3808 curseh1288 You to Your faceh6440."

12

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Satanh7854, "Beholdh2009, allh3605 that he has is in your  1powerh3027, onlyh7534 do not puth7971 forthh7971 your handh3027 on him." So Satanh7854 departedh3318 from the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068.

Satan Allowed to Test Job

13

Now on the dayh3117 when his sonsh1121 and his daughtersh1323 were eatingh398 and drinkingh8354 wineh3196 in their oldesth1060 brother'sh251 househ1004,

14

a messengerh4397 cameh935 to Jobh347 and saidh559, "The oxenh1241 were plowingh2790a and the  1donkeysh860 feedingh7462a besideh5921h3027 them,

15

and  1the  aSabeansh7614  2attackedh5307 and tookh3947 them. They also  3slewh5221 the servantsh5288 with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719, and  4I aloneh905h7534 have escapedh4422 to tellh5046 you."

16

While he was stillh5750 speakingh1696, anotherh2088 also cameh935 and saidh559, " aThe fireh784 of Godh430 fellh5307 from heavenh8064 and burnedh1197a up the sheeph6629 and the servantsh5288 and consumedh398 them, and I aloneh905h7534 have escapedh4422 to tellh5046 you."

17

While he was stillh5750 speakingh1696, anotherh2088 also cameh935 and saidh559, "The  aChaldeansh3778 formedh7760 threeh7969 bandsh7218 and madeh7760 a raidh6584 on the camelsh1581 and tookh3947 them and  1slewh5221 the servantsh5288 with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719, and I aloneh905h7534 have escapedh4422 to tellh5046 you."

18

While he was still speakingh1696, anotherh2088 also cameh935 and saidh559, "Your sonsh1121 and your daughtersh1323 were eatingh398 and drinkingh8354 wineh3196 in their oldesth1060 brother'sh251 househ1004,

19

and beholdh2009, a greath1419 windh7307 cameh935 from acrossh5676 the wildernessh4057b and struckh5221 the fourh702 cornersh6438 of the househ1004, and it fellh5307 on the youngh5288 peopleh5288 and they diedh4191, and I aloneh905h7534 have escapedh4422 to tellh5046 you."

20

Then Jobh347 aroseh6965 and  atoreh7167 his robeh4598 and shavedh1494 his headh7218, and he fellh5307 to the groundh776 and worshipedh7812.

21

He saidh559, " aNakedh6174 I cameh3318 from my mother'sh517 wombh990, And nakedh6174 I shall returnh7725 thereh8033. The  bLORDh3068 gaveh5414 and the LORDh3068 has takenh3947 away. Blessedh1288 be the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068."

22

 aThrough allh3605 thish384 Jobh347 did not sinh2398 norh3808 did he  1blameh5414h8604 Godh430.
