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:

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 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,

But Job answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then Job answered and said,

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

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,

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,

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

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

Then Job answered and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

But Job answered and said,

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

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,

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

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

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.

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

Elihu spake moreover, and said,

Elihu also proceeded, and said,

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,

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

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

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.
