There was a man376
in the land776
of Uz5780
, whose name8034
was
Job347
; and that man376
was perfect8535
and upright3477
, and one that feared3373
God430
, and eschewed5493 8802
evil7451
.
|
|
|
|
2
|
And there were born3205 8735
unto him seven7651
sons1121
and three7969
daughters1323
.
|
|
|
|

|
His substance4735
also was seven7651
thousand505
sheep6629
, and three7969
thousand505
camels1581
, and five2568
hundred3967
yoke6776
of oxen1241
, and five2568
hundred3967
she asses860
, and a very3966
great7227
household5657
; so that this man376
was the greatest1419
of all the men1121
of the east6924
.
[substance: or, cattle]
[household: or, husbandry]
[men: Heb. sons]
|
|
|
|
4
|
And his sons1121
went1980 8804
and feasted4960 6213 8804
in their
houses1004
, every one376
his day3117
; and sent7971 8804
and called7121 8804
for their three7969
sisters269
to eat398 8800
and to drink8354 8800
with them.
|
|
|
|
5
|
And it was so, when the days3117
of
their
feasting4960
were gone about5362 8689
, that Job347
sent7971 8799
and sanctified6942 8762
them, and rose up early7925 8689
in the morning1242
, and offered5927 8689
burnt offerings5930
according
to the number4557
of them all: for Job347
said559 8804
, It may be194
that my sons1121
have sinned2398 8804
, and cursed1288 8765
God430
in their hearts3824
. Thus did6213 8799
Job347
continually3117
.
[continually: Heb. all the days]
|
|
|
|
6
|
Now there was a day3117
when the sons1121
of God430
came935 8799
to present3320 8692
themselves before the LORD3068
, and Satan7854
came935 8799
also among8432
them.
[Satan: Heb. the adversary]
[among: Heb. in the midst of]
|
|
|
|
7
|
And the LORD3068
said559 8799
unto Satan7854
, Whence370
comest935 8799
thou? Then Satan7854
answered6030 8799
the LORD3068
, and said559 8799
, From going to and fro7751 8800
in the earth776
, and from walking up and down1980 8692
in it.
|
|
|
|
8
|
And the LORD3068
said559 8799
unto Satan7854
, Hast thou considered7760 8804 3820
my servant5650
Job347
, that
there is
none like him in the earth776
, a perfect8535
and an upright3477
man376
, one that feareth3373
God430
, and escheweth5493 8802
evil7451
?
[considered: Heb. set thy heart on]
|
|
|
|
9
|
Then Satan7854
answered6030 8799
the LORD3068
, and said559 8799
, Doth Job347
fear3372 8804
God430
for nought2600
?
|
|
|
|
10
|
Hast not thou made an hedge7753 8804
about him, and about1157
his house1004
, and about all that he hath on every side5439
? thou hast blessed1288 8765
the work4639
of his hands3027
, and his substance4735
is increased6555 8804
in the land776
.
[substance: or, cattle]
|
|
|
|
11
|
But199
put forth7971 8798
thine hand3027
now, and touch5060 8798
all that he hath, and he will curse1288 8762 3808
thee to thy face6440
.
[and he...: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face]
|
|
|
|
12
|
And the LORD3068
said559 8799
unto Satan7854
, Behold, all that he hath
is
in thy power3027
; only upon himself put not forth7971 8799
thine hand3027
. So Satan7854
went forth3318 8799
from the presence6440
of the LORD3068
.
[power: Heb. hand]

And there was a day3117
when his sons1121
and his daughters1323
were
eating398 8802
and drinking8354 8802
wine3196
in their eldest1060
brother's251
house1004

And there came935 8804
a messenger4397
unto Job347
, and said559 8799
, The oxen1241
were plowing2790 8802
, and the asses860
feeding7462 8802
beside3027
them:
|
|
|
|
15
|
And the Sabeans7614
fell5307 8799
upon them
, and took them away3947 8799
; yea, they have slain5221 8689
the servants5288
with the edge6310
of the sword2719
; and I only am escaped4422 8735
alone to tell5046 8687
thee.

|
|
16

While he
was
yet speaking1696 8764
, there came935 8802
also another, and said559 8799
, The fire784
of God430
is fallen5307 8804
from heaven8064
, and hath burned up1197 8799
the sheep6629
, and the servants5288
, and consumed398 8799
them; and I only am escaped4422 8735
alone to tell5046 8687
thee.

While he
was

also another, and said559 8799
, The Chaldeans3778
made out7760 8804
three7969
bands7218
, and fell6584 8799
upon the camels1581
, and have carried them away3947 8799
, yea, and slain5221 8689
the servants5288
with the edge6310
of the sword2719
; and I only am escaped4422 8735
alone to tell5046 8687
thee.

And, behold, there came935 8804
a great1419
wind7307
from5676
the wilderness4057
, and smote5060 8799
the four702
corners6438
of the house1004
, and it fell5307 8799
upon the young men5288
, and they are dead4191 8799
; and I only am escaped4422 8735
alone to tell5046 8687
thee.

Then Job347
arose6965 8799
, and rent7167 8799
his mantle4598
, and shaved1494 8799
his head7218
, and fell down5307 8799
upon the ground776

And said559 8799
, Naked6174
came I out3318 8804
of my mother's517
womb990
, and naked6174
shall I return7725 8799
thither: the LORD3068
gave5414 8804
, and the LORD3068
hath taken away3947 8804
; blessed1288 8794
be the name8034
