Job 1:1-8

¹In the land of Uz was a man that was called Job; and that man was simple, that is, without guile, and rightful or right, and dreading God, and going away from evil.

²And there were seven sons and three daughters born to him;

³and his possession was seven thousand of sheep, and three thousand of camels, and five hundred yokes of oxen, and five hundred of female asses, and full much household; and this Job was a great man among all the men of the east.

⁴And his sons went, and made feasts by their houses, each man in his day; and they sent, and called their three sisters, to eat, and to drink wine with them.

⁵And when the days of feast had passed into the world, that is, in the end of the week, Job sent to them, and hallowed them, and he rose early, and offered burnt sacrifices by all. For he said, Lest peradventure my sons do sin, and curse God in their hearts, or Lest peradventure my sons sin, and bless to God in their hearts. Job did so in all days.

⁶And in a day, when the sons of God were come to be present before the Lord, also Satan came among them.

⁷To whom the Lord said, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered, and said, I have compassed the earth, and I have walked through it.

⁸And the Lord said to him, Whether thou hast beheld my servant Job, that there is no man in the earth like him; he is a simple man, and rightful or right, and dreading God, and going away from evil?
