Blessed Be the Lord's Name

Job lived in the land of Uz. He was blameless and upright. He feared God and turned away from evil. He had seven sons, three daughters, seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels. After his children feasted, Job rose early and offered burnt offerings for each of them, in case they had sinned.

One day the Lord said to Satan that there was no one like Job on the earth. Satan answered, Does Job fear God for nothing? He said that if God took away all Job had, Job would turn against Him. The Lord let Satan touch all Job had, but not Job himself.

Then messengers came one after another. Enemies took the oxen, donkeys, and camels. Fire fell and burned up the sheep. A great wind struck the house where Job's children were, and they died. Job tore his robe, fell on the ground, and worshiped. He said, Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh's name. In all this, Job didn't sin.
