And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.

There was a man in the land of Uz, his name was Job. And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and turning away from evil.

And it happened, when the day of feasting had gone around, Job would send and sanctify them. And he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt sacrifices according to all their number. For Job said, It may be that my sons havesinned, and cursed God in their hearts. This, Job always did.

And Jehovah said to Satan, Have you set your heart on My servant Job because there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil?

And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?

And a messenger came to Job and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses were feeding beside them.

And Job rose up and tore his robe, and shaved his head. And he fell down on the ground and worshiped.

In all this Job did not sin, nor charge wrong to God.

And Jehovah said to Satan, Have you set your heart on My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, fearing God, and turning away from evil? And he isstill holding to his integrity, although youincited Me against him, to swallow him for nothing.

And Satan went out from before the face of Jehovah. And he struck Job with bad burning ulcers from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.

But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. Also, 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.

And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come on him. And they each one came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite; Bildad the Shuhite; and Zophar the Naamathite. And theyhad met together to come to lament withhim, and to comfort him.

After this Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
