1:1

There was a man
<0376>

in the land
<0776>

of Uz
<05780>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Job
<0347>_;

and that man
<0376>

was perfect
<08535>

and upright
<03477>_,

and one that feared
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

and eschewed
<05493> (8802)

evil
<07451>_.

1:2

And there were born
<03205> (8735)

unto him seven
<07651>

sons
<01121>

and three
<07969>

daughters
<01323>_.

1:3

His substance
<04735>

also was seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_,

and three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

camels
<01581>_,

and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

yoke
<06776>

of oxen
<01241>_,

and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

she asses
<0860>_,

and a very
<03966>

great
<07227>

household
<05657>_;

so that this man
<0376>

was the greatest
<01419>

of all the men
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_.

{substance: or, cattle} {household: or, husbandry} {men: Heb. sons}

1:4

And his sons
<01121>

went
<01980> (8804)

and feasted
<04960> <06213> (8804)

[in their] houses
<01004>_,

every one
<0376>

his day
<03117>_;

and sent
<07971> (8804)

and called
<07121> (8804)

for their three
<07969>

sisters
<0269>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)

with them.

1:5

And it was so, when the days
<03117>

of [their] feasting
<04960>

were gone about
<05362> (8689)_,

that Job
<0347>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and sanctified
<06942> (8762)

them, and rose up early
<07925> (8689)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and offered
<05927> (8689)

burnt offerings
<05930>

[according] to the number
<04557>

of them all: for Job
<0347>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

It may be
<0194>

that my sons
<01121>

have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and cursed
<01288> (8765)

God
<0430>

in their hearts
<03824>_.

Thus did
<06213> (8799)

Job
<0347>

continually
<03117>_.

{continually: Heb. all the days}

1:6

Now there was a day
<03117>

when the sons
<01121>

of God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to present
<03320> (8692)

themselves before the LORD
<03068>_,

and Satan
<07854>

came
<0935> (8799)

also among
<08432>

them. {Satan: Heb. the adversary} {among: Heb. in the midst of}

1:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Whence
<0370>

comest
<0935> (8799)

thou? Then Satan
<07854>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

From going to and fro
<07751> (8800)

in the earth
<0776>_,

and from walking up and down
<01980> (8692)

in it.

1:8

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Hast thou considered
<07760> (8804) <03820>

my servant
<05650>

Job
<0347>_,

that [there is] none like him in the earth
<0776>_,

a perfect
<08535>

and an upright
<03477>

man
<0376>_,

one that feareth
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

and escheweth
<05493> (8802)

evil
<07451>_?

{considered: Heb. set thy heart on}

1:9

Then Satan
<07854>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Doth Job
<0347>

fear
<03372> (8804)

God
<0430>

for nought
<02600>_?

1:10

Hast not thou made an hedge
<07753> (8804)

about him, and about
<01157>

his house
<01004>_,

and about all that he hath on every side
<05439>_?

thou hast blessed
<01288> (8765)

the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_,

and his substance
<04735>

is increased
<06555> (8804)

in the land
<0776>_.

{substance: or, cattle}

1:11

But
<0199>

put forth
<07971> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>

now, and touch
<05060> (8798)

all that he hath, and he will curse
<01288> (8762) <03808>

thee to thy face
<06440>_.

{and he...: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}
