Job’s Character and Wealth

1 There was a man in the land of ^aUz whose name was ^bJob, and that man was ^cblameless and upright, one who ^dfeared God and ^eturned away from evil.

21 And he said, ^g“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I ^hreturn. The Lord ⁱgave, and the Lord has taken away; ^jblessed be the name of the Lord.”

10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the ^wfoolish women would speak. ^xShall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”^{1 y}In all this Job did not ^zsin with his lips.

12 And the Lord blessed ^xthe latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had ^y14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
