Settings

1:1There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and he feared God and turned away from evil. Compare
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
1:8And Jehovah said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil. 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
1:13Then one day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their firstborn brother, 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
1:19And suddenly a great wind came from beyond the desert and struck the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young people and they died; and I alone have escaped to relate these things to you. 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
2:1Then one day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah. Compare
2:2And 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
2:3And Jehovah said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, though you have moved Me against him to destroy him without cause. Compare
2:4Then Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin! Indeed all that a man has he will give for the sake of his life. Compare
2:5But stretch forth Your hand, and touch his bone and his flesh; and he will surely curse You to Your face. Compare
2:6And Jehovah said to Satan, Here he is, in your hand; only spare his life. Compare
2:7And Satan went forth from Jehovah's presence and struck Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. Compare
2:8And he took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and he sat among the ashes. Compare
2:9Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die. Compare
2:10But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Should we receive the good from God but not receive the ill? In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Compare
2:11Now when Job's three friends heard of all this misfortune that came upon him, each came from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they together made an appointment to come to console him and comfort him. Compare
2:12And when they lifted up their eyes from a distance and did not recognize him, they lifted up their voice and wept; and they all tore their clothes and cast dust over their heads toward heaven. Compare
2:13And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great. Compare
3:1After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. Compare
3:2And Job responded and said, Compare
3:3Let the day on which I was born perish, / And the night which said, A man has been conceived. Compare
3:4Let that day be darkness; / Let God not seek it from above, / Nor let light shine upon it. Compare
3:5Let darkness and the shadow of death reclaim it; / Let a cloud dwell upon it; / Let the things that blacken the day terrify it. Compare
3:6As for that night, let deep darkness take hold of it; / Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; / Let it not come up in the number of the months. Compare
3:7Behold, let that night be barren; / Let no joyous shout come in it. Compare
3:8Let those curse it who curse the day, / Who are ready to rouse leviathan. Compare
3:9Let its predawn stars be dark; / Let it wait for light and there be none, / And do not let it see the eyelids of the dawn. Compare
3:10For it did not shut up the doors of the womb that bore me, / Nor did it hide trouble from my eyes. Compare
3:11Why did I not die at birth, / Come forth from the womb and expire? Compare
3:12Why did the knees receive me? / And why the breasts, that I should suck? Compare
3:13For now I would have lain down and been undisturbed; / I would have slept; then I would have been at rest Compare
3:14With kings and counselors of the earth, / Who rebuilt ruins for themselves; Compare
3:15Or with princes who had gold, / Who filled their houses with silver. Compare
3:16Or like a miscarriage that has been concealed, I would not have been, / Like infants that do not see the light. Compare
3:17There the wicked cease from their troubling, / And there the weary rest. Compare
3:18Captives are altogether at ease; / They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster. Compare
3:19The small and the great are there, / And the servant is free from his master. Compare
3:20Why does He give light to him who suffers / And life to the bitter in soul, Compare
3:21Who wait for death, but it is not there; / And dig for it more than for hidden treasures; Compare
3:22Who rejoice to the point of exultation / And are glad when they have found the grave; Compare
3:23To the man whose way is hidden / And whom God has hedged in? Compare
3:24For my sighing comes as my food, / And my groaning pours out like water. Compare
3:25For I dread something, and it comes upon me; / And what I fear comes to me. Compare
3:26I have no ease and I have no quiet / And I have no rest, but trouble comes. Compare
