Page 1 / 2 (Job 1:5–Job 23:5)
Whenever a round of banqueting was over, Job would send for his children and purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for[fn] all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned, having cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.
The LORD asked Satan, “Where have you come from? ”
“From roaming through the earth,” Satan answered him, “and walking around on it.”
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.”
“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! ”
He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house.
saying:
Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will leave this life.[fn]
The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away.
Blessed be the name of the LORD.
The LORD asked Satan, “Where have you come from? ”
“From roaming through the earth,” Satan answered him, “and walking around on it.”
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.
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]
When I lie down I think,
“When will I get up? ”
But the evening drags on endlessly,
and I toss and turn until dawn.
If he snatches something, who can stop[fn] him?
Who can ask him, “What are you doing? ”
If you say, “How will we pursue him,
since the root of the problem lies with him? ”[fn]
he will vanish forever like his own dung.
Those who know[fn] him will ask, “Where is he? ”
For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house? ”
and “Where are the tents the wicked lived in? ”
They were the ones who said to God, “Leave us alone! ”
and “What can the Almighty do to us? ”[fn]
When others are humiliated and you say, “Lift them up,”
God will save the humble.[fn]
