• 1:2And seven sons and three daughters were born to him. Compare
• 1:3And his possessions were seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred female donkeys and a great many servants; and this man was greater than all the sons of the east. Compare
• 1:4And his sons would go and hold feasts in each one's house, each on his own day, and they would send word and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. Compare
• 1:5And when the days of feasting ran their course, Job would send word and sanctify them; and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their heart. Job did this continually. Compare
• 1:6Then one day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, Satan also came among them. Compare
• 1:7And Jehovah said to Satan, Where have you come from? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From roving the earth and going about in it. Compare

• 1:9Then Satan answered Jehovah and said, Does Job fear God without cause? Compare
• 1:10Have You not set a hedge around him and his household and all that he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his possessions are spread throughout the land. Compare
• 1:11But stretch forth Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face. Compare
• 1:12And Jehovah said to Satan, Here is all that he has, in your hand; only do not stretch forth your hand against him. And Satan went forth from Jehovah's presence. Compare

• 1:14A messenger came to Job and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were feeding beside them; Compare
• 1:15And the Sabeans fell upon them and took them away, and they struck the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to relate these things to you. Compare
• 1:16While this one was still speaking, another came and said, The fire of God has fallen from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and devoured them; and I alone have escaped to relate these things to you. Compare
• 1:17While this one was still speaking, another came and said, The Chaldeans formed three companies and raided the camels and took them, and they struck the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to relate these things to you. Compare
• 1:18While this one was still speaking, another came and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their firstborn brother; Compare

• 1:20Then Job rose up and tore his clothes and shaved his head and fell to the earth and worshipped. Compare
• 1:21And he said, / Naked I came out of my mother's womb, / And naked I will return there. / Jehovah gives and Jehovah takes away; / Blessed be the name of Jehovah. Compare
• 1:22In all this Job did not sin, nor did he charge God with unseemliness. Compare
