KJV

1  There was¹⁹⁶¹ a man³⁷⁶ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Uz,⁵⁷⁸⁰ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Job;³⁴⁷ and that¹⁹³¹ man³⁷⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ perfect⁸⁵³⁵ and upright,³⁴⁷⁷ and one that feared³³⁷³ God,⁴³⁰ and eschewed⁵⁴⁹³ evil.^{4480 7451}

2  And there were born³²⁰⁵ unto him seven⁷⁶⁵¹ sons¹¹²¹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ daughters.¹³²³

3  His substance⁴⁷³⁵ also was¹⁹⁶¹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ yoke⁶⁷⁷⁶ of oxen,¹²⁴¹ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ she asses,⁸⁶⁰ and a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²²⁷ household;⁵⁶⁵⁷ so that this¹⁹³¹ man³⁷⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ the greatest¹⁴¹⁹ of all^{4480 3605} the men¹¹²¹ of the east.⁶⁹²⁴

4  And his sons¹¹²¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ and feasted^{6213 4960} in their houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ every one³⁷⁶ his day;³¹¹⁷ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called⁷¹²¹ for their three⁷⁹⁶⁹ sisters²⁶⁹ to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink⁸³⁵⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ them.

5  And it was¹⁹⁶¹ so, when³⁵⁸⁸ the days³¹¹⁷ of their feasting⁴⁹⁶⁰ were gone about,⁵³⁶² that Job³⁴⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and sanctified⁶⁹⁴² them, and rose up early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of them all:³⁶⁰⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ Job³⁴⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ It may be¹⁹⁴ that my sons¹¹²¹ have sinned,²³⁹⁸ and cursed¹²⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ in their hearts.³⁸²⁴ Thus³⁶⁰² did⁶²¹³ Job³⁴⁷ continually.^{3605 3117}

6  Now there was¹⁹⁶¹ a day³¹¹⁷ when the sons¹¹²¹ of God⁴³⁰ came⁹³⁵ to present themselves³³²⁰ before⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ came⁹³⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ among⁸⁴³² them.

7  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Satan,⁷⁸⁵⁴ Whence^{4480 370} comest⁹³⁵ thou? Then Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ answered^{6030 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ From going to and fro^{4480 7751} in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and from walking up and down^{4480 1980} in it.

8  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Satan,⁷⁸⁵⁴ Hast thou considered^{7760 3820 5921} my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Job,³⁴⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ there is none³⁶⁹ like him³⁶⁴⁴ in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ a perfect⁸⁵³⁵ and an upright³⁴⁷⁷ man,³⁷⁶ one that feareth³³⁷³ God,⁴³⁰ and escheweth⁵⁴⁹³ evil?^{4480 7451}

9  Then Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ answered^{6030 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Doth Job³⁴⁷ fear³³⁷² God⁴³⁰ for naught?²⁶⁰⁰

10  Hast not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ made a hedge⁷⁷⁵³ about¹¹⁵⁷ him, and about¹¹⁵⁷ his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and about¹¹⁵⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he hath on every side?^{4480 5439} thou hast blessed¹²⁸⁸ the work⁴⁶³⁹ of his hands,³⁰²⁷ and his substance⁴⁷³⁵ is increased⁶⁵⁵⁵ in the land.⁷⁷⁶

11  But¹⁹⁹ put forth⁷⁹⁷¹ thine hand³⁰²⁷ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he hath, and⁵¹⁸ he will curse¹²⁸⁸ thee to⁵⁹²¹ thy face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

12  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Satan,⁷⁸⁵⁴ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he hath is in thy power;³⁰²⁷ only⁷⁵³⁵ upon⁴¹³ himself put not forth^{408 7971} thine hand.³⁰²⁷ So Satan⁷⁸⁵⁴ went forth³³¹⁸ from^{4480 5973} the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  And there was¹⁹⁶¹ a day³¹¹⁷ when his sons¹¹²¹ and his daughters¹³²³ were eating³⁹⁸ and drinking⁸³⁵⁴ wine³¹⁹⁶ in their eldest¹⁰⁶⁰ brother's²⁵¹ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

14  And there came⁹³⁵ a messenger⁴³⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ Job,³⁴⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The oxen¹²⁴¹ were¹⁹⁶¹ plowing,²⁷⁹⁰ and the asses⁸⁶⁰ feeding⁷⁴⁶² beside^{5921 3027} them:

15  And the Sabeans⁷⁶¹⁴ fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon them, and took them away;³⁹⁴⁷ yea, they have slain⁵²²¹ the servants⁵²⁸⁸ with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and I⁵⁸⁹ only⁷⁵³⁵ am escaped⁴⁴²² alone⁹⁰⁵ to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee.

16  While he²⁰⁸⁸ was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ speaking,¹⁶⁹⁶ there came⁹³⁵ also another,²⁰⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The fire⁷⁸⁴ of God⁴³⁰ is fallen⁵³⁰⁷ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and hath burned up¹¹⁹⁷ the sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and the servants,⁵²⁸⁸ and consumed³⁹⁸ them; and I⁵⁸⁹ only⁷⁵³⁵ am escaped⁴⁴²² alone⁹⁰⁵ to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee.

17  While he²⁰⁸⁸ was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ speaking,¹⁶⁹⁶ there came⁹³⁵ also another,²⁰⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ made⁷⁷⁶⁰ out three⁷⁹⁶⁹ bands,⁷²¹⁸ and fell⁶⁵⁸⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ the camels,¹⁵⁸¹ and have carried them away,³⁹⁴⁷ yea, and slain⁵²²¹ the servants⁵²⁸⁸ with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and I⁵⁸⁹ only⁷⁵³⁵ am escaped⁴⁴²² alone⁹⁰⁵ to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee.

18  While he²⁰⁸⁸ was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ speaking,¹⁶⁹⁶ there came⁹³⁵ also another,²⁰⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy sons¹¹²¹ and thy daughters¹³²³ were eating³⁹⁸ and drinking⁸³⁵⁴ wine³¹⁹⁶ in their eldest¹⁰⁶⁰ brother's²⁵¹ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

19  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there came⁹³⁵ a great¹⁴¹⁹ wind⁷³⁰⁷ from^{4480 5676} the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and smote⁵⁰⁶⁰ the four⁷⁰² corners⁶⁴³⁸ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and it fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the young men,⁵²⁸⁸ and they are dead;⁴¹⁹¹ and I⁵⁸⁹ only⁷⁵³⁵ am escaped⁴⁴²² alone⁹⁰⁵ to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee.

20  Then Job³⁴⁷ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and rent^{7167 853} his mantle,⁴⁵⁹⁸ and shaved^{1494 853} his head,⁷²¹⁸ and fell down⁵³⁰⁷ upon the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and worshiped,⁷⁸¹²

21  And said,⁵⁵⁹ Naked⁶¹⁷⁴ came I out³³¹⁸ of my mother's womb,^{4480 990 517} and naked⁶¹⁷⁴ shall I return⁷⁷²⁵ thither:⁸⁰³³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ gave,⁵⁴¹⁴ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath taken away;³⁹⁴⁷ blessed¹²⁸⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  In all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ Job³⁴⁷ sinned²³⁹⁸ not,³⁸⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ charged⁵⁴¹⁴ God⁴³⁰ foolishly.⁸⁶⁰⁴

1 ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν ἐν χώρᾳ τῇ Αυσίτιδι ᾧ ὄνομα Ιωβ καὶ ἦν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ἀληθινός ἄμεμπτος δίκαιος θεοσεβής ἀπεχόμενος ἀπὸ παντὸς πονηροῦ πράγματος

2 ἐγένοντο δὲ αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἑπτὰ καὶ θυγατέρες τρεῖς

3 καὶ ἦν τὰ κτήνη αὐτοῦ πρόβατα ἑπτακισχίλια κάμηλοι τρισχίλιαι ζεύγη βοῶν πεντακόσια ὄνοι θήλειαι νομάδες πεντακόσιαι καὶ ὑπηρεσία πολλὴ σφόδρα καὶ ἔργα μεγάλα ἦν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἦν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος εὐγενὴς τῶν ἀφ᾽ ἡλίου ἀνατολῶν

4 συμπορευόμενοι δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἐποιοῦσαν πότον καθ᾽ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν συμπαραλαμβάνοντες ἅμα καὶ τὰς τρεῖς ἀδελφὰς αὐτῶν ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν

5 καὶ ὡς ἂν συνετελέσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ πότου ἀπέστελλεν Ιωβ καὶ ἐκαθάριζεν αὐτοὺς ἀνιστάμενος τὸ πρωὶ καὶ προσέφερεν περὶ αὐτῶν θυσίας κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ μόσχον ἕνα περὶ ἁμαρτίας περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν αὐτῶν ἔλεγεν γὰρ Ιωβ μήποτε οἱ υἱοί μου ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτῶν κακὰ ἐνενόησαν πρὸς θεόν οὕτως οὖν ἐποίει Ιωβ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

6 καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ παραστῆναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ὁ διάβολος ἦλθεν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν

7 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ πόθεν παραγέγονας καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ διάβολος τῷ κυρίῳ εἶπεν περιελθὼν τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσας τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν πάρειμι

8 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος προσέσχες τῇ διανοίᾳ σου κατὰ τοῦ παιδός μου Ιωβ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν κατ᾽ αὐτὸν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἄνθρωπος ἄμεμπτος ἀληθινός θεοσεβής ἀπεχόμενος ἀπὸ παντὸς πονηροῦ πράγματος

9 ἀπεκρίθη δὲ ὁ διάβολος καὶ εἶπεν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου μὴ δωρεὰν σέβεται Ιωβ τὸν θεόν

10 οὐ σὺ περιέφραξας τὰ ἔξω αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἔσω τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἔξω πάντων τῶν ὄντων αὐτῷ κύκλῳ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ εὐλόγησας καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτοῦ πολλὰ ἐποίησας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

11 ἀλλὰ ἀπόστειλον τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ἅψαι πάντων ὧν ἔχει εἰ μὴν εἰς πρόσωπόν σε εὐλογήσει

12 τότε εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ ἰδοὺ πάντα ὅσα ἔστιν αὐτῷ δίδωμι ἐν τῇ χειρί σου ἀλλὰ αὐτοῦ μὴ ἅψῃ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ διάβολος παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου

13 καὶ ἦν ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη οἱ υἱοὶ Ιωβ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ ἔπινον οἶνον ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου

14 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος ἦλθεν πρὸς Ιωβ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὰ ζεύγη τῶν βοῶν ἠροτρία καὶ αἱ θήλειαι ὄνοι ἐβόσκοντο ἐχόμεναι αὐτῶν

15 καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύοντες ᾐχμαλώτευσαν αὐτὰς καὶ τοὺς παῖδας ἀπέκτειναν ἐν μαχαίραις σωθεὶς δὲ ἐγὼ μόνος ἦλθον τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαί σοι

16 ἔτι τούτου λαλοῦντος ἦλθεν ἕτερος ἄγγελος καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ιωβ πῦρ ἔπεσεν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέκαυσεν τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τοὺς ποιμένας κατέφαγεν ὁμοίως καὶ σωθεὶς ἐγὼ μόνος ἦλθον τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαί σοι

17 ἔτι τούτου λαλοῦντος ἦλθεν ἕτερος ἄγγελος καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ιωβ οἱ ἱππεῖς ἐποίησαν ἡμῖν κεφαλὰς τρεῖς καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν τὰς καμήλους καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν αὐτὰς καὶ τοὺς παῖδας ἀπέκτειναν ἐν μαχαίραις ἐσώθην δὲ ἐγὼ μόνος καὶ ἦλθον τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαί σοι

18 ἔτι τούτου λαλοῦντος ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἔρχεται λέγων τῷ Ιωβ τῶν υἱῶν σου καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων σου ἐσθιόντων καὶ πινόντων παρὰ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτῶν τῷ πρεσβυτέρῳ

19 ἐξαίφνης πνεῦμα μέγα ἐπῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἥψατο τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν τῆς οἰκίας καὶ ἔπεσεν ἡ οἰκία ἐπὶ τὰ παιδία σου καὶ ἐτελεύτησαν ἐσώθην δὲ ἐγὼ μόνος καὶ ἦλθον τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαί σοι

20 οὕτως ἀναστὰς Ιωβ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκείρατο τὴν κόμην τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ πεσὼν χαμαὶ προσεκύνησεν καὶ εἶπεν

21 αὐτὸς γυμνὸς ἐξῆλθον ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου γυμνὸς καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἐκεῖ ὁ κύριος ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος ἀφείλατο ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ ἔδοξεν οὕτως καὶ ἐγένετο εἴη τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου εὐλογημένον

22 ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν τοῖς συμβεβηκόσιν αὐτῷ οὐδὲν ἥμαρτεν Ιωβ ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἀφροσύνην τῷ θεῷ

Vul

1 Vir erat in terra Hus, nomine Job: et erat vir ille simplex, et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo.

2 Natique sunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.

3 Et fuit possessio ejus septem millia ovium, et tria millia camelorum, quingenta quoque juga boum, et quingentæ asinæ, ac familia multa nimis: eratque vir ille magnus inter omnes orientales.

4 Et ibant filii ejus, et faciebant convivium per domos, unusquisque in die suo. Et mittentes vocabant tres sorores suas, ut comederent et biberent cum eis.

5 Cumque in orbem transissent dies convivii, mittebat ad eos Job, et sanctificabat illos: consurgensque diluculo, offerebat holocausta pro singulis. Dicebat enim: Ne forte peccaverint filii mei, et benedixerint Deo in cordibus suis. Sic faciebat Job cunctis diebus.

6 Quadam autem die, cum venissent filii Dei ut assisterent coram Domino, affuit inter eos etiam Satan.

7 Cui dixit Dominus: Unde venis? Qui respondens, ait: Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam.

8 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Numquid considerasti servum meum Job, quod non sit ei similis in terra, homo simplex et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo?

9 Cui respondens Satan, ait: Numquid Job frustra timet Deum?

10 nonne tu vallasti eum, ac domum ejus, universamque substantiam per circuitum; operibus manuum ejus benedixisti, et possessio ejus crevit in terra?

11 sed extende paululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quæ possidet, nisi in faciem benedixerit tibi.

12 Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan: Ecce universa quæ habet in manu tua sunt: tantum in eum ne extendas manum tuam. Egressusque est Satan a facie Domini.

13 Cum autem quadam die filii et filiæ ejus comederent et biberent vinum in domo fratris sui primogeniti,

14 nuntius venit ad Job, qui diceret: Boves arabant, et asinæ pascebantur juxta eos:

15 et irruerunt Sabæi, tuleruntque omnia, et pueros percusserunt gladio: et evasi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.

16 Cumque adhuc ille loqueretur, venit alter, et dixit: Ignis Dei cecidit e cælo, et tactas oves puerosque consumpsit: et effugi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.

17 Sed et illo adhuc loquente, venit alius, et dixit: Chaldæi fecerunt tres turmas, et invaserunt camelos, et tulerunt eos, necnon et pueros percusserunt gladio: et ego fugi solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.

18 Adhuc loquebatur ille, et ecce alius intravit, et dixit: Filiis tuis et filiabus vescentibus et bibentibus vinum in domo fratris sui primogeniti,

19 repente ventus vehemens irruit a regione deserti, et concussit quatuor angulos domus: quæ corruens oppressit liberos tuos, et mortui sunt: et effugi ego solus, ut nuntiarem tibi.

20 Tunc surrexit Job, et scidit vestimenta sua: et tonso capite corruens in terram, adoravit,

21 et dixit: Nudus egressus sum de utero matris meæ, et nudus revertar illuc. Dominus dedit, Dominus abstulit; sicut Domino placuit, ita factum est. Sit nomen Domini benedictum.

22 In omnibus his non peccavit Job labiis suis, neque stultum quid contra Deum locutus est.
