Job 1:1-8
1There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780, whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and that manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and oneH376 that feared GodH430, and turnedH5493 awayH5493 from evilH7451. 2And there were bornH3205 unto him sevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323. 3His substance also wasH1961 sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yoke of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she-asses, and a veryH3966 greatH1419 household; so that this manH376 wasH1961 the greatestH1419 of all the children of the eastH6924. 4And his sonsH1121 wentH1980 and held a feastH4960 in the houseH1004 of each oneH376 upon his dayH3117; and they sentH7971 and calledH7121 for their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354 with them. 5And it wasH1961 so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 wereH1961 goneH5927 about, that JobH347 sentH7971 and sanctifiedH6942 them, and roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 burnt-offerings according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH1961 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398, and renounced GodH430 in their heartsH3824. ThusH3602 did JobH347 continually.
6Now it cameH935 to pass on the dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before Jehovah, that Satan alsoH1571 cameH935 among them. 7And Jehovah saidH559 unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and saidH559, From goingH1980 to and fro in the earthH776, and from walkingH1980 up and down in it. 8And Jehovah saidH559 unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servantH5650 JobH347? for there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, oneH376 that feareth GodH430, and turneth awayH5493 from evilH7451.
