Job 1:1-8
1There was a manH376 in the 1landH776 of UzH5780 whose nameH8034 was 2JobH347; and that manH376 was 3blamelessH8535, uprightH3477, 4fearingH3372 GodH430 and 5turningH5493 awayH5493 from evilH7451. 26SevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323 were bornH3205 to him. 37His possessionsH4735 also were 7,000H7651H505 sheepH6629, 3,000H7969H505 camelsH1581, 500H2568H3967 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, 500H2568H3967 femaleH860 donkeysH860, and veryH3966 manyH7227 servantsH5657; and that manH376 was 8the greatestH1419 of allH3605 the 9menH1121 of the eastH6924. 4His sonsH1121 used to goH1980 and holdH6213 a feastH4960 in the houseH1004 of eachH376 oneH376 on his dayH3117, and they would sendH7971 and inviteH7121 their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398 and drinkH8354 with them. 5WhenH3588 the daysH3117 of feastingH4960 had completedH5362 their cycleH5362, JobH347 would sendH7971 and consecrateH6942 them, risingH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and offeringH5927 10burntH5930 offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them allH3605; for JobH347 saidH559, “11PerhapsH194 my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398 and 12cursedH1288 GodH430 in their heartsH3824.” ThusH3602 JobH347 didH6213 continuallyH3605H3117.
613Now there was a dayH3117 when the 14sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves beforeH5921 the LordH3068, and 15SatanH7854 alsoH1571 cameH935 amongH8432 them. 7The LordH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, “From whereH370 do you comeH935?” Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LordH3068 and saidH559, “16From roamingH7751 aboutH7751 on the earthH776 and walkingH1980 aroundH1980 on it.” 8The LordH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, “Have you 17consideredH7760H3820H5921 18My servantH5650 JobH347? For thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 likeH3644 him on the earthH776, 19a blamelessH8535 and uprightH3477 manH376, 20fearingH3372 GodH430 and turningH5493 awayH5493 from evilH7451.”
