Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them:

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God has fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone am escaped to tell you.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone am escaped to tell you.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I alone am escaped to tell you.

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not expire when I came out of the womb?

I was not at ease, neither had I quiet, neither was I at rest; yet trouble came.

Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

They were disappointed because they had confidence; they came there, and were confused.

To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the frost from heaven, who has given it birth?

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they consoled him, and comforted him over all the trouble that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
