"The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you." 001:018 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house, 001:019 and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you." 001:020 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped. 001:021 He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh." 001:022 In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing. 002:001 Again it happened on the day when the God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh. 002:002 Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"

Only spare his life." 002:007 So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head. 002:008 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes. 002:009 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die." 002:010 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job didn't sin with his lips. 002:011 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him. 002:012 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn't recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept;
