1 # There was a man <0376> in the land <0776> of Uz <05780>, whose name <08034> was Job <0347>; and that man <0376> was perfect <08535> and upright <03477>, and one that feared <03373> God <0430>, and eschewed <05493> (8802) evil <07451>.
2 And there were born <03205> (8735) unto him seven <07651> sons <01121> and three <07969> daughters <01323>.
3 His substance <04735> also was seven <07651> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>, and three <07969> thousand <0505> camels <01581>, and five <02568> hundred <03967> yoke <06776> of oxen <01241>, and five <02568> hundred <03967> she asses <0860>, and a very <03966> great <07227> household <05657>; so that this man <0376> was the greatest <01419> of all the men <01121> of the east <06924>.
4 # And his sons <01121> went <01980> (8804) and feasted <04960> <06213> (8804) in their houses <01004>, every one <0376> his day <03117>; and sent <07971> (8804) and called <07121> (8804) for their three <07969> sisters <0269> to eat <0398> (8800) and to drink <08354> (8800) with them.
5 And it was so, when the days <03117> of their feasting <04960> were gone about <05362> (8689), that Job <0347> sent <07971> (8799) and sanctified <06942> (8762) them, and rose up early <07925> (8689) in the morning <01242> , and offered <05927> (8689) burnt offerings <05930> according to the number <04557> of them all: for Job <0347> said <0559> (8804), It may be <0194> that my sons <01121> have sinned <02398> (8804), and cursed <01288> (8765) God <0430> in their hearts <03824>. Thus did <06213> (8799) Job <0347> continually <03117>.
6 # Now there was a day <03117> when the sons <01121> of God <0430> came <0935> (8799) to present <03320> (8692) themselves before the LORD <03068>, and Satan <07854> came <0935> (8799) also among <08432> them.
7 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Satan <07854>, Whence <0370> comest <0935> (8799) thou? Then Satan <07854> answered <06030> (8799) the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), From going to and fro <07751> (8800) in the earth <0776>, and from walking up and down <01980> (8692) in it.
8 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Satan <07854>, Hast thou considered <07760> (8804) <03820> my servant <05650> Job <0347>, that there is none like him in the earth <0776>, a perfect <08535> and an upright <03477> man <0376>, one that feareth <03373> God <0430>, and escheweth <05493> (8802) evil <07451>?
9 Then Satan <07854> answered <06030> (8799) the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), Doth Job <0347> fear <03372> (8804) God <0430> for nought <02600>?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge <07753> (8804) about him, and about <01157> his house <01004>, and about all that he hath on every side <05439>? thou hast blessed <01288> (8765) the work <04639> of his hands <03027>, and his substance <04735> is increased <06555> (8804) in the land <0776>.
 - BUSINESS BLESSING
11 But <0199> put forth <07971> (8798) thine hand <03027> now, and touch <05060> (8798) all that he hath, and he will curse <01288> (8762) <03808> thee to thy face <06440>.
12 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Satan <07854>, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power <03027> ; only upon himself put not forth <07971> (8799) thine hand <03027>. So Satan <07854> went forth <03318> (8799) from the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>.
13 # And there was a day <03117> when his sons <01121> and his daughters <01323> were eating <0398> (8802) and drinking <08354> (8802) wine <03196> in their eldest <01060> brother's <0251> house <01004>:
14 And there came <0935> (8804) a messenger <04397> unto Job <0347>, and said <0559> (8799), The oxen <01241> were plowing <02790> (8802), and the asses <0860> feeding <07462> (8802) beside <03027> them:
15 And the Sabeans <07614> fell <05307> (8799) upon them, and took them away <03947> (8799); yea, they have slain <05221> (8689) the servants <05288> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>; and I only am escaped <04422> (8735) alone to tell <05046> (8687) thee.
16 While he was yet speaking <01696> (8764), there came <0935> (8802) also another, and said <0559> (8799), The fire <0784> of God <0430> is fallen <05307> (8804) from heaven <08064>, and hath burned up <01197> (8799) the sheep <06629>, and the servants <05288>, and consumed <0398> (8799) them; and I only am escaped <04422> (8735) alone to tell <05046> (8687) thee.
17 While he was yet speaking <01696> (8764), there came <0935> (8802) also another, and said <0559> (8799), The Chaldeans <03778> made out <07760> (8804) three <07969> bands <07218>, and fell <06584> (8799) upon the camels <01581>, and have carried them away <03947> (8799), yea, and slain <05221> (8689) the servants <05288> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>; and I only am escaped <04422> (8735) alone to tell <05046> (8687) thee.
18 While he was yet speaking <01696> (8764), there came <0935> (8802) also another, and said <0559> (8799), Thy sons <01121> and thy daughters <01323> were eating <0398> (8802) and drinking <08354> (8802) wine <03196> in their eldest <01060> brother's <0251> house <01004>:
19 And, behold, there came <0935> (8804) a great <01419> wind <07307> from <05676> the wilderness <04057> , and smote <05060> (8799) the four <0702> corners <06438> of the house <01004>, and it fell <05307> (8799) upon the young men <05288>, and they are dead <04191> (8799); and I only am escaped <04422> (8735) alone to tell <05046> (8687) thee.
20 # Then Job <0347> arose <06965> (8799), and rent <07167> (8799) his mantle <04598>, and shaved <01494> (8799) his head <07218>, and fell down <05307> (8799) upon the ground <0776>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) ,
21 And said <0559> (8799), Naked <06174> came I out <03318> (8804) of my mother's <0517> womb <0990>, and naked <06174> shall I return <07725> (8799) thither: the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8804), and the LORD <03068> hath taken away <03947> (8804); blessed <01288> (8794) be the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.
22 In all this Job <0347> sinned <02398> (8804) not, nor charged <05414> (8804) God <0430> foolishly <08604>.
