And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
