1:1
vir erat in terra Hus nomine Iob et erat vir ille simplex etrectus ac timens Deum et recedens a malo

1:2
natique sunt ei septem filii et tres filiae

1:3
et fuit possessio eius septem milia ovium et tria miliacamelorum quingenta quoque iuga boum et quingentae asinae acfamilia multa nimis eratque vir ille magnus inter omnesOrientales

1:4
et ibant filii eius et faciebant convivium per domosunusquisque in die suo et mittentes vocabant tres sorores suasut comederent et biberent cum eis

1:5
cumque in orbem transissent dies convivii mittebat ad eosIob et sanctificabat illos consurgensque diluculo offerebatholocausta per singulos dicebat enim ne forte peccaverint filiimei et benedixerint Deo in cordibus suis sic faciebat Iobcunctis diebus

1:6
quadam autem die cum venissent filii Dei ut adsisterentcoram Domino adfuit inter eos etiam Satan

1:7
cui dixit Dominus unde venis qui respondens ait circuiviterram et perambulavi eam

1:8
dixitque Dominus ad eum numquid considerasti servum meum Iobquod non sit ei similis in terra homo simplex et rectus ettimens Deum ac recedens a malo

1:9
cui respondens Satan ait numquid frustra timet Iob Deum

1:10
nonne tu vallasti eum ac domum eius universamquesubstantiam per circuitum operibus manuum eius benedixisti etpossessio illius crevit in terra

1:11
sed extende paululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quaepossidet nisi in facie tua benedixerit tibi

1:12
dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan ecce universa quae habet inmanu tua sunt tantum in eum ne extendas manum tuam egressusqueest Satan a facie Domini

1:13
cum autem quadam die filii et filiae eius comederent etbiberent vinum in domo fratris sui primogeniti

1:14
nuntius venit ad Iob qui diceret boves arabant et asinaepascebantur iuxta eos

1:15
et inruerunt Sabei tuleruntque omnia et pueros percusseruntgladio et evasi ego solus ut nuntiarem tibi

1:16
cumque adhuc ille loqueretur venit alter et dixit ignis Deicecidit e caelo et tactas oves puerosque consumpsit et effugiego solus ut nuntiarem tibi

1:17
sed et illo adhuc loquente venit alius et dixit Chaldeifecerunt tres turmas et invaserunt camelos et tulerunt eosnecnon et pueros percusserunt gladio et ego fugi solus utnuntiarem tibi

1:18
loquebatur ille et ecce alius intravit et dixit filiis tuiset filiabus vescentibus et bibentibus vinum in domo fratris suiprimogeniti

001:001
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

001:002
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

001:003
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.

001:004
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.

001:005
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.

001:006
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

001:007
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.

001:008
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?

001:009
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

001:010
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.

001:011
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

001:012
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.

001:013
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

001:014
And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

001:015
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

001:016
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

001:017
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

001:018
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

001:019
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

001:020
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

001:021
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

001:022
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
