And when they had gone around the day of feasting, 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. So Job did always.

And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do you come? 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 to Satan, Have you set your heart against My servant Job, because there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil?

And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?

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.

And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them.

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

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.

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

And he said, I came naked out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away. Blessed be the name of Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do you come? 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, Have you set your heart on My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil? And still he is keeping hold of his integrity, although you moved Me against him to destroy him without cause.

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

And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand, but save his life.

And his wife said to him, Do you still hold to your integrity? Curse God and die!

But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

And Job spoke and said,

Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night which said, A man-child is conceived.

And Job answered and said,

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

It is One, therefore I said, He is consuming the perfect and the wicked.

And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

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

And Job answered and said,

And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

I have said to corruption, You are my father; to the worm, My mother and my sister!

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

who said to God, Depart from us; and, What can the Almighty do to them?

And Job answered and said,

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

And Job continued the lifting up of His speech, and said,

And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom! And to depart from evil is understanding!

And Job continued the lifting up of his speech, and said,

Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days like the sand.

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 the multitude of years should teach wisdom.

You said, I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and no iniquity is in me;

And Elihu answered and said,

For Job has said, I am righteous; and God has taken away my right;

For he has said, It profits a man nothing when he is accepted with God.

For has any said to God, I have taken away; I will not pervert?

And Elihu answered and said,

Elihu went on and said,

And Jehovah answered Job out of the tempest, and said,

and I said, You shall come to here, but no further; and here your proud waves shall stop.

And Jehovah answered Job and said,

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

And Jehovah answered Job out of the tempest, and said,

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

And it happened after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
