The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 factum est autem cum quadam die venissent filii Dei et starent coram Domino venisset quoque Satan inter eos et staret in conspectu eius
1
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 ut diceret Dominus ad Satan unde venis qui respondens ait circuivi terram et perambulavi eam
2
And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
3 et dixit Dominus ad Satan numquid considerasti servum meum Iob quod non sit ei similis in terra vir simplex et rectus timens Deum ac recedens a malo et adhuc retinens innocentiam tu autem commovisti me adversus eum ut adfligerem illum frustra
3
And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause."
4 cui respondens Satan ait pellem pro pelle et cuncta quae habet homo dabit pro anima sua
4
Then Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.
5 alioquin mitte manum tuam et tange os eius et carnem et tunc videbis quod in facie benedicat tibi
5
But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face."
6 dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan ecce in manu tua est verumtamen animam illius serva
6
And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your power; only spare his life."
7 egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini percussit Iob ulcere pessimo a planta pedis usque ad verticem eius
7
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

And he took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and sat among the ashes.
9 dixit autem illi uxor sua adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua benedic Deo et morere

Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God, and die."
10 qui ait ad illam quasi una de stultis locuta es si bona suscepimus de manu Domini quare mala non suscipiamus in omnibus his non peccavit Iob labiis suis
10
But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 igitur audientes tres amici Iob omne malum quod accidisset ei venerunt singuli de loco suo Eliphaz Themanites et Baldad Suites et Sophar Naamathites condixerant enim ut pariter venientes visitarent eum et consolarentur
11
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eli'phaz the Te'manite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Na'amathite. They made an appointment together to come to condole with him and comfort him.

13
And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
