And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only do not lay your hand upon him. And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

While he was still speaking, there also came another and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands and swooped down upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and have killed the servants with the edge of the sword. And I only have escaped alone to tell you.

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

And Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground and worshiped.

And Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and they each one came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had met together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and did not know him, they lifted up their voice and wept. And each one tore his robe, and they sprinkled dust upon their heads toward Heaven.

And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights. And no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

Let that day be darkness. Let not God look upon it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it. Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let the blackness of the day terrify it.

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year, Let it not come into the number of the months.

For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has come to me.

But now it has come upon you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men,

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

But who will grant that God would speak, and open His lips against you,

And You open Your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with You.

He shall flee from the iron weapon, a bow of bronze shall pierce him.

My root was open to the waters, and the dew lay all night on my branch.

I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I look upon a virgin?

I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.

And now men cannot look upon the light; it is in the clouds; but the wind passes and clears them.

Who can open the doors to his face? Terror is round about his teeth.
