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 cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

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

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

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

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine 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 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 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 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:

Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,

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

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

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

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

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

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse 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 they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

And Job spake, and said,

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

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

"Look! We have thought all this through, and what we've said is true; So please listen and learn for your own good!"

But Job answered and said,

Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me?

Have I said anything that's unjust? I can discern evil, can't I?"

If I lay down then I said, 'When do I rise!' And evening hath been measured, And I have been full of tossings till dawn.

When I said, 'My bed doth comfort me,' He taketh away in my talking my couch.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Yes, I know what you’ve said is true,
but how can a person be justified before God?

If I summoned Him and He answered me,
I do not believe He would pay attention to what I said.

This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

If I said, “I will forget my complaint,
change my expression, and smile,”

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

And Job answered and said,

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?

Then Job answered and said,

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,

But Job answered and said,

Though they said to God, Go away from us, for we have no desire for the knowledge of your ways.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

And thou hast said, 'What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?

Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

Then Job answered and said,

I haven't wandered away from the commands that he has spoken; I've treasured what he has said more than my own meals."

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

But Job answered and said,

To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

The deep hath said, 'It is not in me,' And the sea hath said, 'It is not with me.'

Destruction and death have said: 'With our ears we have heard its fame.'

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 parable, and said,

For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;

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

After I had said what was in my mind, they were quiet and let my words go deep into their hearts;

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

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

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

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

“I even paid close attention to [what] you [said],
Indeed, not one of you convinced Job [nor could you refute him],
Not one of you supplied [satisfactory] answers to his words.

I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:

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

He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon.

Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!

He sang before men, and said, I sinned, and, uprightness, I perverted, yet he requited me not;

Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

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

Who hath said to a king -- 'Worthless,' Unto princes -- 'Wicked?'

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

Elihu spake moreover, and said,

This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast 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?

And none said, 'Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

Be patient with me a little longer, and I will inform you,
for there is still more to be said on God’s behalf.

Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and said - that they should turn from iniquity.

Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

Then the LORD 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 the LORD answered Job, and said,

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again.

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

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

“[You said to me] ‘Who is this that darkens and obscures counsel [by words] without knowledge?’
Therefore [I now see] I have [rashly] uttered that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

‘Hear, please, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct [and answer] me.’

For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

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 thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job.
