That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil. <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east. <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, 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 renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.</p> <p class="hdg">Satan's First Attack</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face." <span class="reftext"><a href="/job/1-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power.
