Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan also came among them.

that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

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

While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."

While he was still 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 on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you."

He said, "Naked I came 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 it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

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

fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.

They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.

To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?

the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

When I looked for good, then evil came; When I waited for light, there came darkness.

Out of whose womb came the ice? The gray frost of the sky, who has given birth to it?

Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
