Job's Character and Wealth

1 There was a man in the land of ^(A)Uz whose name was ^(B)Job, and that man was ^(C)blameless and upright, one who ^(D)feared God and ^(E)turned away from evil. ² There were born to him ^(F)seven sons and three daughters. ³ He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all ^(G)the people of the east.

⁸ And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you ^(A)considered my ^(B)servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, ^(C)a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”
