18:001:017 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
           The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels,
           and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with
           the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell
           thee.

18:001:018 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
           Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in
           their eldest brother’s house: 

18:001:019 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and
           smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the
           young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to
           tell thee.

18:001:020 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and
           fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

18:001:021 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked
           shall I return thither:  the lord gave, and the lord hath taken
           away; blessed be the name of the lord.

18:001:022 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

18:002:001 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present
           themselves before the lord, and Satan came also among them to
           present himself before the lord.

18:002:002 And the lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?  And
           Satan answered the lord, and said, From going to and fro in
           the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

18:002:003 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? and
           still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me
           against him, to destroy him without cause.

18:002:004 And Satan answered the lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all
           that a man hath will he give for his life.

18:002:005 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his
           flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

18:002:006 And the lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but
           save his life.

18:002:007 So went Satan forth from the presence of the lord, and smote
           Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

18:002:008 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he
           sat down among the ashes.

18:002:009 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine
           integrity? curse God, and die.

18:002:010 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish
           women speaketh.  What? shall we receive good at the hand of
           God, and shall we not receive evil?  In all this did not Job
           sin with his lips.
