In the land of Uz, there was a man called Job: an innocent and virtuous man, such a one as feared God, and eschewed evil.
Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, and how that he is an innocent and virtuous man: such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land?"
Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, how that he is an innocent and virtuous man such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land? But thou movedst me against him, to punish him: yet is it in vain, for he continueth still in his godliness."

In the older Eng. versions of the Bible 'eschew' is common. In AV it occurs only in Job 1:1,8; 2:3 of Job himself, as Job 1:1 'one that feared God, and eschewed evil,' and in 1Pe 3:11 'Let him eschew evil, and do good.' The meaning is 'turn away from' (as RV at 1Pe 3:11 and Amer. RV everywhere).
