Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil.”

Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?

“Very well,” the LORD told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, do not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the LORD’s presence.

a messenger came to Job and reported, “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys grazing nearby,

He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, “God’s fire fell from heaven. It burned the sheep and the servants and devoured them, and I alone have escaped to tell you! ”

That messenger was still speaking when yet another came and reported, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, made a raid on the camels, and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you! ”

Then Job stood up, tore his robe, and shaved his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped,

Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited me against him, to destroy him for no good reason.”

“Skin for skin! ” Satan answered the LORD. “A man will give up everything he owns in exchange for his life.

“Very well,” the LORD told Satan, “he is in your power; only spare his life.”

His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die! ”

“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept only good from God and not adversity? ” Throughout all this Job did not sin in what he said.[fn]

If I said, “I will forget my complaint,

change my expression, and smile,”

When others are humiliated and you say, “Lift them up,”

God will save the humble.[fn]

Abaddon and Death say,

“We have heard news of it with our ears.”

He said to mankind,

“The fear of the Lord ​— ​that is wisdom.

And to turn from evil is understanding.”

So I thought, “I will die in my own nest

and multiply my days as the sand.[fn]

Haven’t the members of my household said,

“Who is there who has not had enough to eat at Job’s table? ”

I thought that age should speak

and maturity should teach wisdom.

Therefore I say, “Listen to me.

I too will declare what I know.”

Look, I waited for your conclusions;

I listened to your insights

as you sought for words.

So do not claim, “We have found wisdom;

let God deal with him, not man.”

For he has said, “A man gains nothing

when he becomes God’s friend.”

For you ask, “What does it profit you,[fn]

and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin? ”

But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,

who provides us with songs in the night,

He opens their ears to correction

and tells them to repent from iniquity.

Who has appointed his way for him,

and who has declared, “You have done wrong”?

when I declared, “You may come this far, but no farther;

your proud waves stop here”?

Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
