Chap. I.
Holie Iob offereth sacrifice for euerie one of his children, note 6. whose good estate
Satan enuying, by Gods permi&esset;ion spoyleth him of al his goodes, and children,
20. for which he being pensiue offendeth not, but thanketh, God for al.
1 There was a man in the Land of Hus, named
Iob, & that man was09Q0196 simple, & right,
and fearing God, and departing from euil. note
2 And there were borne to him seuen sonnes
and three daughters.
3 And his possession
was seuen thousand sheepe, and three thousand
camels, also fiue hundred yoke of oxen and fiue hundred
she asses, and a familie exceding great: and that man was great
among al them of the East.
4 And his sonnes went, and made
a feast by houses, euerie one in his day. And sending they called
their three sisters, to eate and drinke with them.
5 And
when the dayes of feasting had passed about in course, Iob
sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising vp early09Q0197 offered
holocaustes for euerie one. For he sayd: Lest perhaps my
sonnes haue sinned, and haue blessed God in their hartes. So
did Iob al the dayes.
6 But on a certaine day when the sonnes
of God were come to assist before our Lord, note Satan also was
present amongst them.
7 To whom our Lord sayd: From
whence comest thou? Who answering, sayd: I haue gone
round about the earth, and walked through it.
8 And our
Lord sayd to him: Hast thou considered my seruant Iob, that
there is not the like to him in the earth, a man simple, and
right and fearing God, and departing from euil.?
9 To whom
Satan answering, said: Why, doth Iob feare God in vayne?
10 hast not thou fensed him, and his house, and al his substance
round about, blessed the workes of his handes, and his possession
hath increased on the earth?
11 But stretch forth thy
hand a little, and touch al thinges that he possesseth, vnlesse he
blesse thee in the face.
12 Our Lord therfore sayd to Satan:
note behold, al things that he hath, are in thy hand, onlie vpon
him extend not thy hand. And Satan went forth from the
-- --
face of our Lord.
13 And when vpon a certeine day his
sonnes and daughters did eate, and drinke wyne in the house
of their eldest brother,
14 there came a messenger to Iob, which
sayd: The oxen plowghed, and the she asses fed beside them,
15 and the Sabeians came in violently, & haue taken al things,
and haue stroken the seruantes with the sword, and I onlie
haue escaped to tel thee.
16 And when he yet spake, an other
came, and sayd: The fire of God fel from heauen, and striking
the sheepe and the seruantes hath consumed them, and I only
haue escaped to tel thee.
17 But whiles he also was yet speaking,
there came an other and said: The Chaldees made three
troupes, and haue inuaded the camels, and taken them, moreouer
the seruantes also they haue strooken with the sword,
and I alone am fled to tel thee.
18 He yet spake, and behold an
other came in, and said: Thy sonnes and daughters eating and
drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,
19 sodenly
a vehement winde came violently from the countrie of the
desert, and shooke the foure corners of the house, which falling
oppressed thy children and they are dead, and I alone
haue escaped to tel thee.
20 Then Iob rose vp, and rent his garmentes,
and with powled head falling on the ground, adored,
21 and said note Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and
naked shal I returne thither: Our Lord gaue, and our Lord
hath taken away: as it hath pleased our Lord, so is it done: the
name of our Lord be blessed.
22 In al these thinges Iob sinned
not with his lippes, neither spake he anie foolish thing against
God.
