00:00.000 --> 00:01.220
The Book of Job.

00:02.020 --> 00:02.640
Chapter 1.

00:04.200 --> 00:09.580
There was a man in the land of Uz whose
name was Job, and that man was perfect and

00:09.580 --> 00:12.840
upright, and one that feared God and
eschewed evil.

00:14.260 --> 00:16.840
And there were born unto him seven sons
and three daughters.

00:17.740 --> 00:21.700
His substance also was seven thousand
sheep and three thousand camels,

00:22.040 --> 00:26.240
and five hundred yoke of oxen,
and five hundred she-asses, and a very

00:26.240 --> 00:26.940
great household.

00:27.520 --> 00:30.600
So that this man was the greatest of all
the men of the east.

00:31.920 --> 00:36.640
And his sons went and feasted in their
houses every one his day, and sent and

00:36.640 --> 00:39.440
called for their three sisters to eat and
to drink with them.

00:40.340 --> 00:44.320
And it was so, when the days of their
feasting were gone about, that Job sent

00:44.320 --> 00:48.340
and sanctified them, and rose up early in
the morning, and offered burnt offerings

00:48.340 --> 00:50.060
according to the number of them all.

00:50.420 --> 00:54.260
For Job said, It may be that my sons have
sinned and cursed God in their hearts.

00:54.260 --> 00:55.740
Thus did Job continually.

00:56.220 --> 00:59.520
Now there was a day when the sons of God
came to present themselves before the

00:59.520 --> 01:01.880
Lord, and Satan came also among them.

01:02.760 --> 01:05.120
And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence
comest thou?

01:05.400 --> 01:09.260
Then Satan answered the Lord, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth,

01:09.480 --> 01:11.780
and from walking up and down in it.

01:11.880 --> 01:16.000
And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is

01:16.000 --> 01:21.440
none like him in the earth, a perfect and
an upright man, one that feareth God and

01:21.440 --> 01:22.300
escheweth evil?

01:22.300 --> 01:26.920
Then Satan answered the Lord, and said,
Doth Job fear God for naught?

01:27.500 --> 01:32.460
hast not thou made an hedge about him,
and about his house, and about all that he

01:32.460 --> 01:33.720
hath on every side?

01:34.400 --> 01:39.180
Thou hast blessed the work of his hands,
and his substance is increased in the

01:39.180 --> 01:39.600
land.

01:40.040 --> 01:46.280
But put forth thine hand now, and touch
all that he hath, and he will curse thee

01:46.280 --> 01:47.120
to thy face.

01:47.420 --> 01:51.380
And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold,
all that he hath is in thy power.

01:51.940 --> 01:54.620
Only upon himself put not forth thine
hand.

01:54.900 --> 01:57.260
So Satan went forth from the presence of
the Lord.

01:58.120 --> 02:01.800
And there was a day when his sons and his
daughters were eating and drinking wine in

02:01.800 --> 02:03.020
their eldest brother's house.

02:04.040 --> 02:07.380
And there came a messenger unto Job,
and said, The oxen were ploughing,

02:07.500 --> 02:08.900
and the asses feeding beside them.

02:09.080 --> 02:11.540
And the Sabeans fell upon them and took
them away.

02:11.980 --> 02:16.160
Yea, they have slain the servants with the
edge of the sword, and I only am escaped

02:16.160 --> 02:17.260
alone to tell thee.

02:17.260 --> 02:21.800
While he was yet speaking, there came also
another, and said, The fire of God is

02:21.800 --> 02:26.340
fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the
sheep and the servants, and consumed them.

02:26.760 --> 02:29.940
And I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

02:30.200 --> 02:34.820
While he was yet speaking, there came also
another, and said, The Chaldeans made out

02:34.820 --> 02:37.960
three bands, and fell upon the camels,
and have carried them away.

02:38.320 --> 02:42.700
Yea, and slain the servants with the edge
of the sword, and I only am escaped alone

02:42.700 --> 02:43.420
to tell thee.

02:43.420 --> 02:48.120
While he was yet speaking, there came also
another, and said, Thy sons and thy

02:48.120 --> 02:50.560
daughters were eating and drinking wine in
their eldest brother's house.

02:51.060 --> 02:54.840
And behold, there came a great wind from
the wilderness, and smote the four corners

02:54.840 --> 02:56.680
of the house, and it fell upon the young
man.

02:57.200 --> 03:01.400
And they are dead, and I only am escaped
alone to tell thee.

03:01.500 --> 03:05.640
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle,
and shaved his head, and fell down upon

03:05.640 --> 03:09.620
the ground, and worshipped, and said,
Naked came I out of my mother's womb,

03:10.520 --> 03:12.100
and naked shall I return thither.

03:12.860 --> 03:15.120
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken
away.

03:16.300 --> 03:17.500
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

03:17.960 --> 03:21.780
In all this, Job sinned not, nor charged
God foolishly.
