18:001:002 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

18:001:003 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three
           thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five
           hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this
           man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

18:001:004 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his
           day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to
           drink with them.

18:001:005 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone
           about, 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 cursed God in their hearts.  Thus did Job
           continually.

18:001:006 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
           themselves before the lord, and Satan came also among them.

18:001:007 And the lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou?  Then Satan
           answered the lord, and said, From going to and fro in the
           earth, and from walking up and down in it.

18:001:008 And the lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant
           Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and
           an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

18:001:009 Then Satan answered the lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for
           nought?

18:001:010 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house,
           and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed
           the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the
           land.

18:001:011 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and
           he will curse thee to thy face.

18:001:012 And the lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in
           thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand.  So
           Satan went forth from the presence of the lord.

18:001:013 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were
           eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: 

18:001:014 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were
           plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: 

18:001:015 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they
           have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only
           am escaped alone to tell thee.

18:001:016 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
           The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the
           sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am
           escaped alone to tell thee.
