His
substance also was
seven thousand sheep, and
three thousand camels, and
five hundred yoke of
oxen, and
five hundred she
asses, and a
very great household; so that this
man was the
greatest of all the
men of the
east.

And his
sons went and
feasted* in their
houses, every
one his
day; and
sent and
called for their
three sisters to
eat and to
drink with them.

And it was so, when the
days of their
feasting were gone
about, that
Job sent and
sanctified them, and rose up
early in the
morning, and
offered burnt
offerings according to the
number of them all: for
Job said, It may
be that my
sons have
sinned, and
cursed God in their
hearts. Thus
did Job continually.

Now there was a
day when the
sons of
God came to
present themselves before the
LORD, and
Satan came also
among them.

And the
LORD said unto
Satan, Whence comest thou? Then
Satan answered the
LORD, and
said, From going to and
fro in the
earth, and from walking up and
down in it.

And the
LORD said unto
Satan, Hast thou
considered* my
servant Job, that there is none like him in the
earth, a
perfect and an
upright man, one that
feareth God, and
escheweth evil?

Hast not thou made an
hedge about him, and
about his
house, and about all that he hath on every
side? thou hast
blessed the
work of his
hands, and his
substance is
increased in the
land.

But put
forth thine
hand now, and
touch all that he hath, and he will

And the
LORD said unto
Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy
power; only upon himself put not
forth thine
hand. So
Satan went
forth from the
presence of the
LORD.

And there was a
day when his
sons and his
daughters were
eating and
drinking wine in their
eldest brother's house:
