Job's Character and Wealth

1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job ; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil. 8 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job ? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." 3 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job ? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause." 7 Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity ?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips. 19 "From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you. 30 "For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity ; They will be led forth at the day of fury. 28 "And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom ; And to depart from evil is understanding.' " 26 "When I expected good, then evil came ; When I waited for light, then darkness came. 29 "Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy, Or exulted when evil befell him? 12 "There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.
