Strong's G2492 Ἰώβ (iob)

There was a certain man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; And that man was true, blameless, righteous, and godly, Abstaining from everything evil.

And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, And offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, And one calf for a sin offering for their souls: For Job said, Lest peradventure my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus then Job did continually.

And the Lord said to him, Hast thou diligently considered my servant Job, That there is none like him on the earth, A man blameless, true, godly, Abstaining from everything evil?

Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?

And it came to pass on a certain day, That Job’s sons and his daughters Were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.

And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were plowing, And the she-asses were feeding near them;

While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burned up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds likewise; And I having escaped alone am come to tell thee.

While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, And surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, And slew the servants with the sword; And I only escaped, and am come to tell thee.

While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,

So Job arose, and rent his garments, And shaved the hair of his head, And fell on the earth, and worshiped,

In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, And did not impute folly to God.

And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed my servant Job, That there is none of men upon the earth like him, A harmless, true, blameless, godly man, Abstaining from all evil? And he yet cleaves to innocence, Whereas thou hast told me to destroy his substance without cause?

So the devil went out from the Lord, And smote Job with sore boils from his feet to his head.

Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.

After this Job opened his mouth, And cursed his day,

But Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

And Job answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

And Job further continued and said in his parable,

And Job continued and said in his parable,

Then let the nettle come up to me instead of wheat, And a bramble instead of barley. And Job ceased speaking.

And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: For Job was righteous before them.

Then Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, Of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Uz, was angered: And he was very angry with Job, Because he justified himself before the Lord.

And he was also very angry with his three friends, Because they were not able to return answers to Job, Yet set him down for an ungodly man.

But Elihu had forborne to give an answer to Job, Because they were older than he.

And I shall understand as far as you; And, behold, there was no one of you That answered Job his words in argument,

Howbeit hear, Job, my words, And hearken to my speech.

Hearken, Job, and hear me: Be silent, and I will speak.

For Job has said, I am righteous: The Lord has removed my judgment.

What man is as Job, Drinking scorning like water?

But Job has not spoken with understanding, His words are not uttered with knowledge.

Howbeit do thou learn, Job: No longer make answer as the foolish:

Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, In ignorance he multiplies words.

Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, And be admonished of the power of the Lord.

And after Elihu had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, saying,

And the Lord God answered Job and said,

And Job answered and said to the Lord,

And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying,

Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Thou hast sinned, and thy two friends: For ye have not said anything true before me, As my servant Job has.

Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, And go to my servant Job, And he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, For I will only accept him: For but for his sake, I would have destroyed you, For ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Minaean, Went and did as the Lord commanded them: And he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

And the Lord prospered Job: And when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin: And the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning: And his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, Six thousand camels, A thousand yoke of oxen, A thousand she-asses of the pastures.

And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer women than they in all the world: And their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

And Job lived after his affliction a hundred and seventy years: And all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: And Job saw his sons and his sons’ sons, the fourth generation.

And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noah, and Daniel, and Job, they alone should be delivered by their righteousness, saith the Lord.

and should Noah, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, as I live, saith the Lord, there shall be left them neither sons nor daughters; only they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
