Book 18 Job
18:001:001 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.
18:001:002 And there were born unto him seven sons and
three daughters.
18:001:003 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.
18:001:004 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.
18:001:005 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.
18:001:006 Now there was a day when the sons of Godcame to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came
also among them.
18:001:007 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.
18:001:008 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?
18:001:009 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Doth Job fear God for
nought?
18:001:010 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.
18:001:011 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all
that he hath, and
he will curse thee to thy face.
18:001:012 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.
18:001:013 And there was a day when his sons and his
daughters were
eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's
house:18:001:014 And there came a messenger unto Job, and
said, The oxen were
plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
18:001:015 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.
18:001:016 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.
18:001:017 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.
18:001:018 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:
18:001:019 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.18:001:020 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and
shaved his head, and
fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
18:001:021 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.
18:001:022 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God
foolishly.
18:002:001 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.
18:002:002 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.
18:002:003 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.
18:002:004 And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Skin for skin, yea, all
that a man hath will he give for his life.
18:002:005 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his
bone and his
flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.18:002:006 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is
in thine hand; but
save his life.
18:002:007 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.
18:002:008 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself
withal; and he
sat down among the ashes.
18:002:009 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still
retain thine
integrity? curse God, and die.
18:002:010 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.
18:002:011 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.
18:002:012 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.
18:002:013 So they sat down with him upon the groundseven days and seven
nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they
saw that his
grief was very great.
18:003:001 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed
his day.
18:003:002 And Job spake, and said,
18:003:003 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and
the night in which
it was said, There is a man child conceived.
18:003:004 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it
from above,
neither let the light shine upon it.
18:003:005 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain
it; let a cloud
dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
18:003:006 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.
18:003:007 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice
come
therein.
18:003:008 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are
ready to raise
up their mourning.
18:003:009 Let the stars of the twi
