It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.

Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."

It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

The LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."

Then Satan answered The LORD, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.

In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

So Satan went out from the presence of The LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.

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.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.

Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.

Yes, I gave you my full attention,but there was no one who convinced Job,or who answered his words, among you.

"However, Job, please hear my speech,and listen to all my words.

Mark well, Job, and listen to me.Hold your peace, and I will speak.

For Job has said, 'I am righteous,God has taken away my right:

What man is like Job,who drinks scorn like water,

'Job speaks without knowledge.His words are without wisdom.'

I wish that Job were tried to the end,because of his answering like wicked men.

Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk,and he multiplies words without knowledge."

"Listen to this, Job.Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
