And the LORD said unto Satan, "From whence comest thou?" Satan answered the LORD, and said, "I have gone about the land and walked through it."

Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, and how that he is an innocent and virtuous man: such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land?"

Satan answered, and said unto the LORD, "Doth Job fear God for naught?

And the LORD said unto Satan, "Lo, all that he hath, be in thy power: only upon himself see that thou lay not thine hand." Then went Satan forth from the LORD.

there came a messenger unto Job, and said, "While the oxen were a plowing, and the asses going in the pasture beside them,

And while he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The fire of God is fallen from heaven, it hath consumed, and burnt up all thy sheep and servants: and I only ran my way, to tell thee."

In the mean season while he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The Chaldeans made three armies, and fell upon thy camels, which they have carried away: yea, and slain thy servants with the sword, and I only am gotten away, to tell thee."

While he was speaking, there came yet another, and said, "Thy sons and 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 turn thither again. The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; now blessed be the name of the LORD."

And the LORD said unto Satan, "From whence comest thou?" Satan answered and said, "I have gone about the land, and walked through it."

Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, how that he is an innocent and virtuous man such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land? But thou movedst me against him, to punish him: yet is it in vain, for he continueth still in his godliness."

Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin? Yea, a man will give all that ever he hath, for his life.

Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Lo, there hast thou him in thy power, but spare his life."

Then said his wife unto him, "Dost thou yet continue in thy perfectness? Curse God, and die."

But Job said unto her, "Thou speakest like a foolish woman. Seeing we have received prosperity at the hand of God, wherefore should we not be content with adversity also?" In all these things, did not Job sin with his lips.

and said, "Let the day perish, wherein I was born,

and the night in the which it was said, 'There is a man child conceived.'

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said unto him,

Job answered, and said, "Oh that my misery were weighed, and my punishment laid in the balances:

When I laid me down to sleep, I said, 'O when shall I rise?' Again, I longed sore for the night. Thus am I full of sorrow, till it be dark.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Job answered, and said,

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

So Job answered, and said,

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Job answered, and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Job answered, and said,

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

Job answered, and said,

So Eliphaz the Temanite gave answer, and said,

which said unto God, 'Go from us.' And what did the Almighty do with them?

Job answered, and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Job answered, and said,

And unto man he said, 'Behold, to fear the LORD is wisdom: and to forsake evil, is understanding.'"

"Have I put my trust in gold? Or, have I said to the finest gold of all, 'Thou art my confidence?'

So that he gave answer himself, and said, "Considering that I am young, and ye be men of age, I was afraid, and durst not show forth my mind,

Yea, when I had diligently pondered what ye said, I found not one of you that made any good argument against Job, or that directly could make answer unto his words,

Elihu, proceeding forth in his communication, said,

And why? Job hath said, 'I am righteous, but God doth me wrong.'

Elihu spake moreover, and said,

Elihu proceeded forth in his talking, and said,

When spake the LORD unto Job out of the storm, and said,

Moreover, God spake unto Job, and said,

Then spake the LORD unto Job out of the storm, and said,

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
