JOB 01:01 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was]
Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared
God, and eschewed evil.
JOB 01:02 And there were born unto him seven sons and three
daughters.
JOB 01:03 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and
three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five
hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man
was the greatest of all the men of the east.
JOB 01:04 And his sons went and feasted [in their] houses,
every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters
to eat and to drink with them.
JOB 01:05 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.
JOB 01:06 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to
present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among
them.
JOB 01:07 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.
JOB 01:08 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?
JOB 01:09 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear
God for nought?
JOB 01:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his
house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast
blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in
the land.
JOB 01:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he
hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
JOB 01:12 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.
JOB 01:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters
[were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
JOB 01:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The
oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
JOB 01:15 And the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away;
yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
JOB 01:16 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.
JOB 01:17 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.
JOB 01:18 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:
JOB 01:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the
wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell
upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped
alone to tell thee.
JOB 01:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his
head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
JOB 01:21 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.
JOB 01:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
JOB 02:01 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.
JOB 02:02 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.
JOB 02:03 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.
JOB 02:04 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
JOB 02:05 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and
his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
JOB 02:06 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he [is] in
thine hand; but save his life.
JOB 02:07 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.
JOB 02:08 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal;
and he sat down among the ashes.
JOB 02:09 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain
thine integrity? curse God, and die.
JOB 02:10 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.
JOB 02:11 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.
JOB 02:12 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.
JOB 02:13 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.
JOB 03:01 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
JOB 03:02 And Job spake, and said,
JOB 03:03 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night
[in which] it was said, There is a man child conceived.
JOB 03:04 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from
above, neither let the light shine upon it.
JOB 03:05 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a
cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
JOB 03:06 As [for] that night, let darkness seize upon it; let
it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into
the number of the months.
JOB 03:07 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice
come therein.
JOB 03:08 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready
to raise up their mourning.
JOB 03:09 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it
look for light, but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning
of the day:
JOB 03:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's]
womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
JOB 03:11 Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give
up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
JOB 03:12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that
I should suck?
JOB 03:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I
should have slept: then had I been at rest,
JOB 03:14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built
desolate places for themselves;
JOB 03:15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their
houses with silver:
JOB 03:16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as
infants [which] never saw light.
JOB 03:17 There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there
the weary be at rest.
JOB 03:18 [There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not
the voice of the oppressor.
JOB 03:19 The small and great are there; and the servant [is]
free from his master.
JOB 03:20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery,
and life unto the bitter [in] soul;
JOB 03:21 Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig
for it more than for hid treasures;
JOB 03:22 Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they
can find the grave?
JOB 03:23 [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and
whom God hath hedged in?
JOB 03:24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings
are poured out like the waters.
JOB 03:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me,
and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
JOB 03:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was
I quiet; yet trouble came.
JOB 04:01 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
JOB 04:02 [If] we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be
grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
JOB 04:03 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast
strengthened the weak hands.
JOB 04:04 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and
thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
JOB 04:05 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it
toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
JOB 04:06 [Is] not [this] thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope,
and the uprightness of thy ways?
JOB 04:07 Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being
innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
JOB 04:08 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow
wickedness, reap the same.
JOB 04:09 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of
his nostrils are they consumed.
JOB 04:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce
lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
JOB 04:11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the
stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
