There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780, whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and that manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and one that fearedH3373 GodH430, and eschewedH5493 evilH7451.
And there were bornH3205 unto him sevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323.
His substanceH4735 also was sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she assesH860, and a veryH3966 greatH7227 householdH5657; so that this manH376 was the greatestH1419 of all the menH1121 of the eastH6924. {substance: or, cattle} {household: or, husbandry} {men: Heb. sons}
And his sonsH1121 wentH1980 and feastedH4960+H6213 in their housesH1004, every oneH376 his dayH3117; and sentH7971 and calledH7121 for their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354 with them.
And it was so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 were gone aboutH5362, that JobH347 sentH7971 and sanctifiedH6942 them, and rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH194 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398, and cursedH1288 GodH430 in their heartsH3824. Thus didH6213 JobH347 continuallyH3117. {continually: Heb. all the days}
Now there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them. {Satan: Heb. the adversary} {among: Heb. in the midst of}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, WhenceH370 comestH935 thou? Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, From going to and froH7751 in the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 in it.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH7760+H3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? {considered: Heb. set thy heart on}
Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Doth JobH347 fearH3372 GodH430 for noughtH2600?
Hast not thou made an hedgeH7753 about him, and aboutH1157 his houseH1004, and about all that he hath on every sideH5439? thou hast blessedH1288 the workH4639 of his handsH3027, and his substanceH4735 is increasedH6555 in the landH776. {substance: or, cattle}
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 all that he hath, and he will curseH1288+H3808 thee to thy faceH6440. {and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy powerH3027; only upon himself put not forthH7971 thine handH3027. So SatanH7854 went forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068. {power: Heb. hand}
And there was a dayH3117 when his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
And there cameH935 a messengerH4397 unto JobH347, and saidH559, The oxenH1241 were plowingH2790, and the assesH860 feedingH7462 besideH3027 them:
And the SabeansH7614 fellH5307 upon them, and took them awayH3947; yea, they have slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee.
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, The fireH784 of GodH430 is fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, and hath burned upH1197 the sheepH6629, and the servantsH5288, and consumedH398 them; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {The fire…: or, A great fire}
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, The ChaldeansH3778 made outH7760 threeH7969 bandsH7218, and fellH6584 upon the camelsH1581, and have carried them awayH3947, yea, and slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {fell: Heb. rushed}
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
And, behold, there cameH935 a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {from…: Heb. from aside, etc}
Then JobH347 aroseH6965, and rentH7167 his mantleH4598, and shavedH1494 his headH7218, and fell downH5307 upon the groundH776, and worshippedH7812, {mantle: or, robe}
And saidH559, NakedH6174 came I outH3318 of my mother'sH517 wombH990, and nakedH6174 shall I returnH7725 thither: the LORDH3068 gaveH5414, and the LORDH3068 hath taken awayH3947; blessedH1288 be the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
In all this JobH347 sinnedH2398 not, nor chargedH5414 GodH430 foolishlyH8604. {charged…: or, attributed folly to God}

Though these threeH7969 menH582, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, they should deliverH5337 but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH7760+H3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? {considered: Heb. set thy heart on}
And he saidH559, LayH7971 not thine handH3027 uponH413 the ladH5288, neither do thouH6213 any thingH3972 unto him: for nowH6258 I knowH3045 that thou fearestH3373 GodH430, seeing thou hast notH3808 withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 son from me.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that it was toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she hath also bornH3205 childrenH1121 unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152;
The sonsH1121 of ShemH8035; ElamH5867, and AsshurH804, and ArphaxadH775, and LudH3865, and AramH758, and UzH5780, and HulH2343, and GetherH1666, and MeshechH4902. {Meshech: or, Mash}
Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thouH7760 consideredH3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? and still he holdeth fastH2388 his integrityH8538, although thou movedstH5496 me against him, to destroyH1104 him without causeH2600. {to destroy…: Heb. to swallow him up}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the frowardH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.

BeholdG2400, we count them happyG3106 which endureG5278. Ye have heardG191 of the patienceG5281 of JobG2492, andG2532 have seenG1492 the endG5056 of the LordG2962; thatG3754 the LordG2962 isG2076 very pitifulG4184, andG2532 of tender mercyG3629.
By mercyH2617 and truthH571 iniquityH5771 is purgedH3722: and by the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 men departH5493 from evilH7451.
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
Neither have I gone backH4185 from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193; I have esteemedH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 food. {esteemed: Heb. hid, or, laid up} {my…: or, my appointed portion}
Let him eschewG1578+G575 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846.
RejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123, that dwellestH3427 in the landH776 of UzH5780; the cupH3563 also shall passH5674 through unto thee: thou shalt be drunkenH7937, and shalt make thyself nakedH6168.
I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with mine eyesH5869; why then should I thinkH995 upon a maidH1330?
For what portionH2506 of GodH433 is there from aboveH4605? and what inheritanceH5159 of the AlmightyH7706 from on highH4791?
Is not destructionH343 to the wickedH5767? and a strangeH5235 punishment to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205?
Doth not he seeH7200 my waysH1870, and countH5608 all my stepsH6806?
If I have walkedH1980 with vanityH7723, or if my footH7272 hath hastedH2363 to deceitH4820;
Let me be weighedH8254 in an evenH6664 balanceH3976, that GodH433 may knowH3045 mine integrityH8538. {Let…: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
If my stepH838 hath turned outH5186 of the wayH1870, and mine heartH3820 walkedH1980 afterH310 mine eyesH5869, and if any blotH3971 hath cleavedH1692 to mine handsH3709;
Then let me sowH2232, and let anotherH312 eatH398; yea, let my offspringH6631 be rooted outH8327.
If mine heartH3820 have been deceivedH6601 by a womanH802, or if I have laid waitH693 at my neighbour'sH7453 doorH6607;
Then let my wifeH802 grindH2912 unto anotherH312, and let othersH312 bow downH3766 upon her.
For this is an heinous crimeH2154; yea, it is an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgesH6414.
For it is a fireH784 that consumethH398 to destructionH11, and would root outH8327 all mine increaseH8393.
If I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me;
What then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visitethH6485, what shall I answerH7725 him?
Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and did not oneH259 fashionH3559 us in the wombH7358? {did not one…: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;
Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 myself alone, and the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 thereof;
(For from my youthH5271 he was brought upH1431 with me, as with a fatherH1, and I have guidedH5148 her from my mother'sH517 wombH990;) {her: that is, the widow}
If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any poorH34 without coveringH3682;
If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532;
If I have lifted upH5130 my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490, when I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:
Then let mine armH3802 fallH5307 from my shoulder bladeH7929, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the boneH7070. {bone: or, chanelbone}
For destructionH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his highnessH7613 I couldH3201 not endure.
If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hopeH3689, or have saidH559 to the fine goldH3800, Thou art my confidenceH4009;
If I rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because mine handH3027 had gottenH4672 muchH3524; {gotten…: Heb. found much}
If I beheldH7200 the sunH216 when it shinedH1984, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightnessH3368; {sun: Heb. light} {in…: Heb. bright}
And my heartH3820 hath been secretlyH5643 enticedH6601, or my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027: {my mouth…: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
This also were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgeH6416: for I should have deniedH3584 the GodH410 that is aboveH4605.
If I rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him that hatedH8130 me, or lifted upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him:
Neither have I sufferedH5414 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by wishingH7592 a curseH423 to his soulH5315. {mouth: Heb. palate}
If the menH4962 of my tabernacleH168 saidH559 not, Oh that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646.
The strangerH1616 did not lodgeH3885 in the streetH2351: but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the travellerH734. {traveller: or, way}
If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243: {as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fearH6206 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, or did the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifyH2865 me, that I kept silenceH1826, and went not outH3318 of the doorH6607?
Oh thatH5414 one would hearH8085 me! behold, my desireH8420 is, that the AlmightyH7706 would answerH6030 me, and that mine adversaryH376+H7379 had writtenH3789 a bookH5612. {my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would takeH5375 it upon my shoulderH7926, and bindH6029 it as a crownH5850 to me.
I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I go nearH7126 unto him.
If my landH127 cryH2199 against me, or that the furrowsH8525 likewiseH3162 thereof complainH1058; {complain: Heb. weep}
If I have eatenH398 the fruitsH3581 thereof without moneyH3701, or have caused the ownersH1167 thereof to loseH5301 their lifeH5315: {fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners…: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
Let thistlesH2336 growH3318 instead of wheatH2406, and cockleH890 instead of barleyH8184. The wordsH1697 of JobH347 are endedH8552. {cockle: or, noisome weeds}
These are the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146: NoahH5146 was a justH6662 manH376 and perfectH8549 in his generationsH1755, and NoahH5146 walkedH1980 with GodH430. {perfect: or, upright}
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
And thus didH6213 HezekiahH3169 throughout all JudahH3063, and wroughtH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 and truthH571 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
