And it was so, when the days of their feasting were finished, 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 cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

And the LORD said unto Satan, From where come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one that fears God, and turns away from evil?

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?

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

And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them:

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

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 alone am escaped to tell you.

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

And said, Naked came I 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.

And the LORD said unto Satan, From where come you? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one that fears God, and turns away from evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.

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

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but spare his life.

Then said his wife unto him, Do you still retain your integrity? curse God, and die.

But he said unto her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. 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 spoke, and said,

Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male child conceived.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroys the blameless and the wicked.

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.

And Job answered and said,

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

I have said to corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my mother, and my sister.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

But Job answered and said,

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

Who said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do to us?

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

But Job answered and said,

Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said,

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

Moreover Job continued his discourse, 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, or have said to the fine gold, You are my confidence;

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you are very old; therefore I was afraid, and dared not show you my opinion.

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

I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.

Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my justice.

For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

Surely it is fitting to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?

For you said, What advantage will it be unto you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

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

And said, Thus far shall you come, but no farther: and here shall your proud waves be stopped?

Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
