And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,

and the Sabeans fell upon them , and took them away: yea, they have 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, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

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.

Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;

Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.

When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with shouting.

Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall upon you?

Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.

As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.

He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of brass shall strike him through.

The increase of his house shall depart; His goods'shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:

His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.

The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, And all men shall draw after him, As there were innumerable before him.

I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.

For God'shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand.

Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.

For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile, Or to nobles, Ye are wicked;

Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.

But thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold on thee .

For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?

The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
