Job 1:1-21

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}

1:12

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power
<03027>_;

only upon himself put not forth
<07971> (8799)

thine hand
<03027>_.

So Satan
<07854>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{power: Heb. hand}

1:13

And there was a day
<03117>

when his sons
<01121>

and his daughters
<01323>

[were] eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking
<08354> (8802)

wine
<03196>

in their eldest
<01060>

brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>_:

1:14

And there came
<0935> (8804)

a messenger
<04397>

unto Job
<0347>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The oxen
<01241>

were plowing
<02790> (8802)_,

and the asses
<0860>

feeding
<07462> (8802)

beside
<03027>

them:

1:15

And the Sabeans
<07614>

fell
<05307> (8799)

[upon them], and took them away
<03947> (8799)_;

yea, they have slain
<05221> (8689)

the servants
<05288>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee.

1:16

While he [was] yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,

there came
<0935> (8802)

also another, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The fire
<0784>

of God
<0430>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and hath burned up
<01197> (8799)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and the servants
<05288>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

them; and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee. {The fire...: or, A great fire}

1:17

While he [was] yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,

there came
<0935> (8802)

also another, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The Chaldeans
<03778>

made out
<07760> (8804)

three
<07969>

bands
<07218>_,

and fell
<06584> (8799)

upon the camels
<01581>_,

and have carried them away
<03947> (8799)_,

yea, and slain
<05221> (8689)

the servants
<05288>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee. {fell: Heb. rushed}

1:18

While he [was] yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,

there came
<0935> (8802)

also another, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

[were] eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking
<08354> (8802)

wine
<03196>

in their eldest
<01060>

brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>_:

1:19

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

a great
<01419>

wind
<07307>

from
<05676>

the wilderness
<04057>_,

and smote
<05060> (8799)

the four
<0702>

corners
<06438>

of the house
<01004>_,

and it fell
<05307> (8799)

upon the young men
<05288>_,

and they are dead
<04191> (8799)_;

and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee. {from...: Heb. from aside, etc}

1:20

Then Job
<0347>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and rent
<07167> (8799)

his mantle
<04598>_,

and shaved
<01494> (8799)

his head
<07218>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

upon the ground
<0776>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_,

{mantle: or, robe}

1:21

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

Naked
<06174>

came I out
<03318> (8804)

of my mother's
<0517>

womb
<0990>_,

and naked
<06174>

shall I return
<07725> (8799)

thither: the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath taken away
<03947> (8804)_;

blessed
<01288> (8794)

be the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
