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

And Jehovah said to Satan, 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 to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?

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

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

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

While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and 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 another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.

While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;

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 to 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 to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up 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 to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.

And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.

But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

And Job answered and said,

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

And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

It is all one; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

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 unto God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

And Job answered and said,

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job continued his parable and said,

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

And Job continued his parable and said,

And I said, I shall die in my nest, and multiply my days as the sand;

If I have made gold my hope, or said to the fine gold, My confidence!

If the men of my tent said not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat? --

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.

I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.

Moreover Elihu answered and said,

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

For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself in God.

For hath he said unto God, I bear chastisement, I will not offend;

Moreover Elihu answered and said,

And Elihu proceeded and said,

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

And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

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

And Jehovah answered Job and said,

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.

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.
