And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.

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 aside from evil.

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

And Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground and worshiped.

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

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 went forth from the presence of Jehovah and struck Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.

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's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and they each one came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had met together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

After this Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.

And Job spoke and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

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

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

let thorns come forth instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

And these three men ceased from answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

And burned the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. His wrath burned against Job, because he had justified himself rather than God.

Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer and had condemned Job.

And Elihu had waited beside Job with words, because they were older than he in days.

Yes, I listened to you, and, behold, not one of you proved Job wrong nor answered his words,

However, Job, please hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.

Hear this, Job, listen to me; be 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 has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

Would that Job may be tried to the end because his answers are like men of iniquity.

even Job opens his mouth in vanity; he multiplies words without knowledge.

Listen to this, Job; stand still, and consider the wonderful works of God.

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

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.

And now take to yourselves seven young bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And My servant Job will pray for you. Surely I will lift up his face so as not to do with you according to your foolishness, in that you have not spoken of Me what is right, like My servant Job.

And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as Jehovah commanded them. Jehovah also accepted the face of Job.

And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. Also Jehovah added to Job all that had been his, to double.

And Jehovah blessed the latter days of Job more than the beginning. For he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

And in all the land there were not found women as beautiful as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

After this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.

And Job died, being old and full of days.

And though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver only their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord Jehovah.

though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord Jehovah, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter. They shall only deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

Behold, we count blessed those who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity and of tender mercy.
