Dual Panel1There was a man<376> in the land<776> of Uz<5780> whose name<8034> was Job<347>; and that man<376> was blameless<8535>, upright<3477>, fearing<3372> God<430> and turning<5493> away<5493> from evil<7451>.
2Seven<7651> sons<1121> and three<7969> daughters<1323> were born<3205> to him.
3His possessions<4735> also were 7,000 <7651><505> sheep<6629>, 3,000 <7969><505> camels<1581>, 500 <2568><3967> yoke<6776> of oxen<1241>, 500 <2568><3967> female<860> donkeys<860>, and very<3966> many<7227> servants<5657>; and that man<376> was the greatest<1419> of all<3605> the men<1121> of the east<6924>.
4His sons<1121> used to go<1980> and hold<6213> a feast<4960> in the house<1004> of each<376> one<376> on his day<3117>, and they would send<7971> and invite<7121> their three<7969> sisters<269> to eat<398> and drink<8354> with them.
5When<3588> the days<3117> of feasting<4960> had completed<5362> their cycle<5362>, Job<347> would send<7971> and consecrate<6942> them, rising<7925> up early<7925> in the morning<1242> and offering<5927> burnt<5930> offerings<5930> according to the number<4557> of them all<3605>; for Job<347> said<559>, "Perhaps<194> my sons<1121> have sinned<2398> and cursed<1288> God<430> in their hearts<3824>." Thus<3602> Job<347> did<6213> continually<3605><3117>.
6Now there was a day<3117> when the sons<1121> of God<430> came<935> to present<3320> themselves before<5921> the LORD<3068>, and Satan<7854> also<1571> came<935> among<8432> them.
7The LORD<3068> said<559> to Satan<7854>, "From where<370> do you come<935>?" Then Satan<7854> answered<6030> the LORD<3068> and said<559>, "From roaming<7751> about<7751> on the earth<776> and walking<1980> around<1980> on it."
8The LORD<3068> said<559> to Satan<7854>, "Have you considered<7760><3820><5921> My servant<5650> Job<347>? For there<369> is no<369> one<369> like<3644> him on the earth<776>, a blameless<8535> and upright<3477> man<376>, fearing<3372> God<430> and turning<5493> away<5493> from evil<7451>."
9Then Satan<7854> answered<6030> the LORD<3068>, "Does Job<347> fear<3372> God<430> for nothing<2600>?
10"Have You not made<7753> a hedge<7753> about<1157> him and his house<1004> and all<3605> that he has, on every<5439> side<5439>? You have blessed<1288> the work<4639> of his hands<3027>, and his possessions<4735> have increased<6555> in the land<776>.
11"But put<7971> forth<7971> Your hand<3027> now<4994> and touch<5060> all<3605> that he has; he will surely<518><3808> curse<1288> You to Your face<6440>."
12Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Satan<7854>, "Behold<2009>, all<3605> that he has is in your power<3027>, only<7534> do not put<7971> forth<7971> your hand<3027> on him." So Satan<7854> departed<3318> from the presence<6440> of the LORD<3068>.
13Now on the day<3117> when his sons<1121> and his daughters<1323> were eating<398> and drinking<8354> wine<3196> in their oldest<1060> brother's<251> house<1004>,
14a messenger<4397> came<935> to Job<347> and said<559>, "The oxen<1241> were plowing<2790> and the donkeys<860> feeding<7462> beside<5921><3027> them,
15and the Sabeans<7614> attacked<5307> and took<3947> them. They also slew<5221> the servants<5288> with the edge<6310> of the sword<2719>, and I alone<905><7534> have escaped<4422> to tell<5046> you."
16While he was still<5750> speaking<1696>, another<2088> also came<935> and said<559>, "The fire<784> of God<430> fell<5307> from heaven<8064> and burned<1197> up the sheep<6629> and the servants<5288> and consumed<398> them, and I alone<905><7534> have escaped<4422> to tell<5046> you."
17While he was still<5750> speaking<1696>, another<2088> also came<935> and said<559>, "The Chaldeans<3778> formed<7760> three<7969> bands<7218> and made<7760> a raid<6584> on the camels<1581> and took<3947> them and slew<5221> the servants<5288> with the edge<6310> of the sword<2719>, and I alone<905><7534> have escaped<4422> to tell<5046> you."
18While he was still speaking<1696>, another<2088> also came<935> and said<559>, "Your sons<1121> and your daughters<1323> were eating<398> and drinking<8354> wine<3196> in their oldest<1060> brother's<251> house<1004>,
19and behold<2009>, a great<1419> wind<7307> came<935> from across<5676> the wilderness<4057> and struck<5221> the four<702> corners<6438> of the house<1004>, and it fell<5307> on the young<5288> people<5288> and they died<4191>, and I alone<905><7534> have escaped<4422> to tell<5046> you."
20Then Job<347> arose<6965> and tore<7167> his robe<4598> and shaved<1494> his head<7218>, and he fell<5307> to the ground<776> and worshiped<7812>.
21He said<559>, "Naked<6174> I came<3318> from my mother's<517> womb<990>, And naked<6174> I shall return<7725> there<8033>. The LORD<3068> gave<5414> and the LORD<3068> has taken<3947> away. Blessed<1288> be the name<8034> of the LORD<3068>."
22Through all<3605> this<384> Job<347> did not sin<2398> nor<3808> did he blame<5414><8604> God<430>.
