Then Job got up and tore his robe. He shaved his head, and then he threw himself down with his face to the ground.

After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day he was born.

I will reply to you, and to your friends with you.

Then the Lord answered Job:

Then Job answered the Lord:

Then Job answered the Lord:

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job with a malignant ulcer from the sole of his feet to the top of his head.

After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

He would certainly rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality!

Would not his splendor terrify you and the fear he inspires fall on you?

Do you wish to torment a windblown leaf and chase after dry chaff?

God understands the way to it, and he alone knows its place.

But he replied, “You’re talking like one of the godless women would do! Should we receive what is good from God, and not also receive what is evil?” In all this Job did not sin by what he said.

Then Satan answered the Lord, “Is it for nothing that Job fears God?

So the Lord said to Satan, “All right, he is in your power; only preserve his life.”

Would it turn out well if he would examine you? Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?

Do you fix your eye on such a one? And do you bring me before you for judgment?

I will never declare that you three are in the right; until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!

I will teach you about the power of God; What is on the Almighty’s mind I will not conceal.
