Job 1:6-22 — Job's First Test

Job.1.6-22

⁶Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. ⁷The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD and said, “From roaming through the earth and from walking back and forth in it.” ⁸The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil.” ⁹Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? ¹⁰Have you not placed a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock has spread out in the land. ¹¹But stretch out your hand now, and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse you to your face." ¹²The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand; only do not stretch out your hand against the man himself.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. ¹³Now there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house, ¹⁴and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the female donkeys were grazing beside them , ¹⁵and the Sabeans attacked and took them away. They struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!" ¹⁶While he was still speaking, another came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you!” ¹⁷While he was still speaking, another came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and raided the camels and took them away. They struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!” ¹⁸While he was still speaking, another came and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house, ¹⁹and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you!" ²⁰Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. ²¹He said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” ²²In all this, Job did not sin or attribute impropriety to God.
