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 asses feeding beside them:

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

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 only am escaped alone to tell thee.

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

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

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath 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 give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

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

They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

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 hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

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 bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
