Bible. Job
18:001:016 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.
18:001:017 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.
18:001:018 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:
18:001:019 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.
18:001:020 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and
fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
18:001:021 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.
18:001:022 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
18:002:001 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to
present himself before the LORD.
18:002:002 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And
Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in
the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
18:002:003 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? and
still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me
against him, to destroy him without cause.
18:002:004 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all
that a man hath will he give for his life.
18:002:005 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his
flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
18:002:006 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but
save his life.
18:002:007 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote
Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
18:002:008 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he
sat down among the ashes.
18:002:009 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine
integrity? curse God, and die.
