And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.

Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

that 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 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.

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 he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

And Job answered and said:

Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

And Job again took up his parable, and said,

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

And Job again took up his parable, and said,

Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:

If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

Moreover Elihu answered and said,

For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

For hath any said unto God, I have borne chastisement , I will not offend any more :

Moreover Elihu answered and said,

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said,

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
