1	Again there was a day when the sons of God came# to present# themselves before the LORD, and Satan came# also among them to present# himself before the LORD.
			2	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.
			3	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. [to destroy...: Heb. to swallow him up]
			4	And Satan answered# the LORD, and said# , Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give# for his life.
			5	But put forth# thine hand now, and touch# his bone and his flesh, and he will curse# thee to thy face.
			6	And the LORD said# unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save# his life. [but: or, only]
			7	So went# Satan forth# from the presence of the LORD, and smote# Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
			8	And he took# him a potsherd to scrape# himself withal; and he sat down# among the ashes.
			9	Then said# his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain# thine integrity? curse# God, and die# .
			10	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.
			11	Now when Job's three friends heard# of all this evil that was come# upon him, they came# every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment# together to come# to mourn# with him and to comfort# him.
			12	And when they lifted up# their eyes afar off, and knew# him not, they lifted up# their voice, and wept# ; and they rent# every one his mantle, and sprinkled# dust upon their heads toward heaven.
			13	So they sat down# with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake# a word unto him: for they saw# that his grief was very great# .
