Job 1:1-8
1There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780 whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and this manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and oneH376 that feared 1GodH430 and abstained from evilH7451.
2And there were bornH3205 to him sevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323.
3And his substance wasH1961 sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yoke of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she-asses, and veryH3966 manyH7227 servants; and this manH376 wasH1961 greaterH1419 than all the children of the eastH6924.
4And his sonsH1121 wentH1980 and madeH6213 a feastH4960 in the houseH1004 of each oneH376 on his dayH3117; and they sentH7971 and invited their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354 with them.
5And it wasH1961 so, when the daysH3117 of the feastingH4960 wereH1961 goneH5927 about, that JobH347 sentH7971 and hallowed them; and he roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 up burnt-offerings [according to] the numberH4557 of them all; for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH1961 that my children have sinnedH2398, and cursed 2GodH430 in their heartsH3824. ThusH3602 did JobH347 continually.
6And there wasH1961 a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of 3GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before Jehovah; and Satan cameH935 alsoH1571 among them.
7And Jehovah saidH559 to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and saidH559, From goingH1980 to and fro in the earthH776, and from walkingH1980 up and down in it.
8And Jehovah saidH559 to Satan, Hast thou considered my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him on the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, oneH376 that feareth 4GodH430 and abstaineth from evilH7451?
