RF JOB 1:1 Job's History.
There was a man in the land of Luz named Job. He was true and upright, and feared God, and avoided wrong.
RF JOB 1:2 He had seven sons and three daughters born to him,
RF JOB 1:3 and his possessions were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, a very large estate, so that the man was greater than all the Beni-Kedem.
RF JOB 1:4 His sons were accustomed often to feast at the house of each other; and would send and invite their sisters to eat and drink with them.
RF JOB 1:5 But when the days of festivity had gone round, Job would send and sanctify them in the morning, and offer burnt-offerings for the whole, for Job reflected,
"It may be my children have sinned, by not thanking God in their hearts."
Job continually behaved thus.
RF JOB 1:6 But the Day came when the sons of God advanced to report themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser also was amongst them.
RF JOB 1:7 And when the Lord asked the Accuser, "Where do you come from?" the Accuser answered the Lord, and said:
"From flying over the earth, and travelling in it."
RF JOB 1:8 Then the Lord asked the Accuser, "Have you fixed your attention upon My servant Job? That there is not a man like him upon earth—honest and upright, who fears God, and avoids wrong?"
RF JOB 1:9 The Accuser, however, answered the Lord and said, "Does Job reverence God for nothing?
RF JOB 1:10 Have You not made a fence for him, and his family, and all that he has all round? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his property has extended over the country.
RF JOB 1:11 But perhaps if You stretched out Your hand, and destroyed all he possesses, he would curse You to Your face!"
RF JOB 1:12 The Lord consequently replied to the Accuser, "Whatever he has shall be in your power! except that you shall not exert your hand upon himself."
So the Accuser departed from the presence of the Lord.
RF JOB 1:13 Then another day arrived when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,
RF JOB 1:14 when a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were ploughing and the she-asses grazing near them,
RF JOB 1:15 when the Shabim fell on and seized them, and have assaulted their attendants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to inform you!"
RF JOB 1:16 Whilst he was speaking another came and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the skies, and has consumed the flocks and their attendants, and destroyed them, except myself, and I only have escaped to inform you!"
RF JOB 1:17 Whilst he was yet speaking another came, and said:
"The Kasdim collected in three troops, and rushed upon the camels, and seized them, and have assailed their attendants with the edge of the sword, except myself, and I only have escaped to tell you!"
RF JOB 1:18 While he was speaking another came, and said: "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
RF JOB 1:19 when a great storm came from over the Desert and seized the four corners of the house, and flung it down upon the youths, and killed them, except myself, and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
RF JOB 1:20 Then Job arose and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and threw himself upon the ground and worshipped, and said:
RF JOB 1:21 "I came naked from my mother's womb;
And naked I shall return.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!"
RF JOB 1:22 In this Job did not sin, nor accuse God of injustice.
