JOB-1:1 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.
JOB-1:2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
JOB-1:3 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.
JOB-1:4 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.
JOB-1:5 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.
JOB-1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves
before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
JOB-1:7 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.
JOB-1:8 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?
JOB-1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
JOB-1:10 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.
JOB-1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he
will curse thee to thy face.
JOB-1:12 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.
JOB-1:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters [were] eating
and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
JOB-1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were
plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
JOB-1:15 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.
JOB-1:16 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.
JOB-1:17 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.
JOB-1:18 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:
JOB-1:19 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.
JOB-1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell
down upon the ground, and worshipped,
JOB-1:21 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.
JOB-1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
JOB-2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves
before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the
LORD.
JOB-2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan
answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from
walking up and down in it.
JOB-2:3 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? and still he holdeth fast his integrity,
although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
JOB-2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a
man hath will he give for his life.
JOB-2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and
he will curse thee to thy face.
JOB-2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he [is] in thine hand; but save
his life.
JOB-2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with
sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
JOB-2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down
among the ashes.
JOB-2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity?
curse God, and die.
JOB-2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women
speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not
receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
JOB-2:11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come
upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and
Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an
appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
JOB-2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they
lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and
sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
JOB-2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven
nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that [his] grief was very
great.
JOB-3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
JOB-3:2 And Job spake, and said,
JOB-3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it
was said, There is a man child conceived.
JOB-3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither
let the light shine upon it.
JOB-3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon
it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
JOB-3:6 As [for] that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined
unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
JOB-3:7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
JOB-3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their
mourning.
JOB-3:9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light,
but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
JOB-3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, nor hid
sorrow from mine eyes.
JOB-3:11 Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost
when I came out of the belly?
JOB-3:12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
JOB-3:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have
slept: then had I been at rest,
JOB-3:14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places
for themselves;
JOB-3:15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
JOB-3:16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which]
never saw light.
JOB-3:17 There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at
rest.
JOB-3:18 [There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the
oppressor.
JOB-3:19 The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from his
master.
