The Book of Job
There was a man named Job. He was blameless and upright, one who feared God. Job had seven sons and three daughters. His children got together and held a feast. After the feast, he offered seven burnt offerings to the God because he thought that his sons might have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.One day, the sons of God came to the LORD. Satan also came with them. God mentioned that Job was blameless, upright, and the one who turned from evil. Satan asked God to test Job's faith and loyalty by destroying whatever Job had, and said to God that Job would curse Him if he lost everything. God gave Satan the permission to test Job.Thus, one day, a messenger came to Job saying that the Sabe'ans took the oxen that were plowing and the Asses feeding besides them away, and killed the servants. Then came another messenger saying that sheep and servants were burnt in a fire. Another messenger came saying that Chalde'ans raided the camels and killed the servants. And, finally, another messenger came with the message that his sons and daughters who had been eating and drinking in their eldest brother's house were dead because the house had collapsed due to great wind. Even after this destruction, Job fell upon th
Eli'phaz thinks that Job may have sinned, and so he tells Job that one suffers because of ones deeds. Job's three friends, Eli'phas the Te'manite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Na'amathite come to condole with and comfort him. They sit with Job for seven days and seven nights without saying a word. Job died an old man, and full of days. Job asks Eli'phaz to tell how he has made any mistake. Eli'phaz then says to Job that he has supported them who were in trouble, and now when it comes to himself, Job is losing his patience. Job says that God had given, and so He had taken away. He tells Job to pray to God and that if Job is pure and upright, then God will surely reward him. Again, one day when the sons of God came to the LORD. Job then says that he is of small account and cannot answer God. And, Job tells God that he will not speak anymore. God gives Job knowledge about His powers. God tells Job about all his creations. He also says that God does not trust His servants and charges the good people with errors.
