Job 1:1-8

MSTC(i) 1 In the land of Uz, there was a man called Job: an innocent and virtuous man, such a one as feared God, and eschewed evil. 2 This man had seven sons, and three daughters. 3 His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a very great household: so that he was one of the most principal men among all them of the east country. 4 And his sons went and made banquets - one day in one house, another day in another - and sent for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 And it fortuned that when they had passed over the time of their banqueting round about; Job sent for them, and sanctified them, and gat up early, and offered for every one a burnt offering. For Job thought thus: "Peradventure my sons have done some offense, and have been unthankful to God in their hearts." And thus did Job everyday. 6 Now upon a time, when the servants of God came and stood before the LORD, Satan came also among them. 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, "From whence comest thou?" Satan answered the LORD, and said, "I have gone about the land and walked through it." 8 Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, and how that he is an innocent and virtuous man: such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land?"
