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 one that fearedH3373 GodH430, and eschewedH5493 evilH7451. 2And there were bornH3205 unto him sevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323. 3His substanceH4735 also was sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she donkeysH860, and a veryH3966 greatH7227 householdH5657; so that this manH376 was the greatestH1419 of all the menH1121 of the eastH6924.123 4And his sonsH1121 wentH1980 and feastedH6213H4960 in their housesH1004, every oneH376 his dayH3117; and sentH7971 and calledH7121 for their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354 with them. 5And it was so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 were gone aboutH5362, that JobH347 sentH7971 and sanctifiedH6942 them, and rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH194 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398, and cursedH1288 GodH430 in their heartsH3824. Thus didH6213 JobH347 continuallyH3117.4
6Now there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before YhwhH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them.56 7And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, WhenceH370 comestH935 thou? Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 YhwhH3068, and saidH559, From going to and froH7751 in the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 in it. 8And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH3820H7760 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451?7
