Job 1:1-8

¹There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil.

²He had seven sons and three daughters,

³and he owned 7, 000 sheep, 3, 000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man of all the people of the East.

⁴Job’s sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

⁵And when the days of feasting were over, Job would send for his children to purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

⁶One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.

⁷“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”

⁸Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil.”
