And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

{Then when} the days of the feast had run their course, {Job would send}, and he would sanctify them. Thus he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings [according to] the number of all of them, because Job thought, "Perhaps my children have sinned and {cursed} God in their heart." This is what Job used to do {all the time}.

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.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.

When Job's three friends heard all these tragedies that happened to him, they each traveled from their home towns to visit him. Eliphaz came from Teman, Bildad came from Shuah, and Zophar came from Naamath. They met together and went to console and comfort him.

And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.

And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

Who made [the constellations] the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the [vast starry] spaces of the south;

"For he has raised his fist against God, defying the Almighty.

And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me : And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.

There catcheth him - by the heel - a gin, there holdeth him fast - a noose:

if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth,

For if thou wilt turn to the Almighty, thou shalt stand fast, and all unrighteousness shall be far from thy dwelling:

If only I knew where to find him, I would visit him where he has taken his seat.

My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.

Holding fast the face of the throne, he spread his cloud upon it

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

And now my soul shall be poured out upon me; and the days of affliction will hold me fast

If my step has turned out of the way, or my heart has walked after my eyes, and if any blot has held fast to my hands;

But seeing that God will sit in judgment, what shall I do? And for so much as he will needs visit me, what answer shall I give him?

But, with the plea of a lawless one, thou art full, Plea and sentence, will take fast hold.

Have you considered closely [the] earth's vast expanse? Declare [it], if you know all of it.

When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

His young ones feast on blood; he'll be found wherever there's a carcass."

(Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!)

The members of his body are joined so strait one to another, and cleave so fast together, that he cannot be moved.

His heart is as hard as stone, and as fast as the stythie that the hammer man smiteth upon.
