There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, 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 so

And LORD said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.

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

that there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped.

In all this Job did not sin, nor foolishly accuse God.

And LORD said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although thou m

So Satan went forth from the presence of LORD, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.

But he said to her, Thou 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 Job did not sin with his lips.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that came upon him, they came each one from his own place--Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite--and they made an appointment together to come t

After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.

And Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered, and said,

Then Job answered, and said,

Then Job answered, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered, and said,

And Job again took up his parable, and said,

And Job again took up his parable, and said,

let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

So these three men ceased to answer Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Then the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled. His anger was kindled against Job because he justified himself rather than God.

His anger was also kindled against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.

Yea, I attended to you. And, behold, there was none who convinced Job, or who answered his words among you.

However, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.

Mark well, O Job, hearken to me. Keep silent, and I will speak.

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

What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water,

Job speaks without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom.

But surely not. Learn thou Job not to still give an answer like the foolish,

so Job opens his mouth in vanity. He multiplies words without knowledge.

Hearken to this, O Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

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

Then Job answered LORD, and said,

And it was so, that, after LORD had spoken these words to Job, 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 Jo

Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams. And go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your fol

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as LORD commanded them, and LORD accepted Job.

And LORD turned [back] the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

So LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.

So Job died, being old and full of days.

though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says lord LORD.

though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says lord LORD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter, they would but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

Behold, we regard those who endured, blessed. Ye have heard of the fortitude of Job, and have seen the outcome of Lord, that he is very compassionate and merciful.
