Job 1:6-22

6Now there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them.12 7And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, From whereH370 comestH935 thou? Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559,3 fFrom going to and froH7751 on the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 upon it. 8And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH7760H3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him on the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and turneth away fromH5493 evilH7451?4 9Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Doth JobH347 fearH3372 GodH430 for nothingH2600? 10Hast not thou made an hedgeH7753 about him, and aboutH1157 his houseH1004, and about all that he hath on every sideH5439? thou hast blessedH1288 the workH4639 of his handsH3027, and his substanceH4735 is increasedH6555 in the landH776.5 11ButH199 put forthH7971 thy handH3027 now, and touchH5060 all that he hath, and he will curseH1288H3808 thee to thy faceH6440.6 12And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy powerH3027; only upon himself put not forthH7971 thy handH3027. So SatanH7854 went forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.7

13And there was a dayH3117 when his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother’sH251 houseH1004: 14And there cameH935 a messengerH4397 to JobH347, and saidH559, The oxenH1241 were plowingH2790, and the donkeysH860 feedingH7462 besideH3027 them: 15And the SabeansH7614 fellH5307 upon them, and took them awayH3947; yea, they have slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only have escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. 16While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, The fireH784 of GodH430 hath fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, and hath burned upH1197 the sheepH6629, and the servantsH5288, and consumedH398 them; and I only have escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee.8 17While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, The ChaldeansH3778 madeH7760 threeH7969 bandsH7218, and fellH6584 upon the camelsH1581, and have carried them awayH3947, yea, and slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only have escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee.9 18While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother’sH251 houseH1004: 19And, behold, there cameH935 a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191; and I only have escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee.10

20Then JobH347 aroseH6965, and toreH7167 his mantleH4598, and shavedH1494 his headH7218, and fellH5307 upon the groundH776, and worshippedH7812,11 21And saidH559,12 NakedH6174 came IH3318 from my mother’sH517 wombH990, and nakedH6174 shall I returnH7725 there: the LORDH3068 gaveH5414, and the LORDH3068 hath taken awayH3947; blessedH1288 be the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. 22In all this JobH347 sinnedH2398 not, nor chargedH5414 GodH430 foolishlyH8604.13
