1 A man as in the land of Uz, Job his name; and that man was blameless and upright, and fearing God, and departing from evil. 2 And seven sons and three daughters will be born to him. 3 And his possession will be seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pair of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and service exceedingly much; and that man shall be great above all the sons of the east. 4 And his sons went and made a drinking in the house, a man his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 And it will be that the days of drinking went round, and Job will send and consecrate them, and he rose early in the morning and brought up burnt-offerings for the number of them all: for Job said, Perhaps my sons sinned, and blessed God in their hearts. Thus did Job all the days. Job 1:1-5, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
