Job 1:1-4

1There was a man who lived in a place called Uz. His name was Job. He was a good and honest man. He was afraid to make God angry. He refused to do evil things.

2Job had seven sons and three daughters.

3He had 7,000 sheep and 3,000 camels. He had 500 pairs of oxen and 500 donkeys. He also had many servants. He was the richest person in the east part of the world.

4Each of Job's sons would give parties for each other in their homes. They sent messages to their three sisters to come and eat the feast with them.
