Job and His Family
1 There was a man in the country of Uz 1:1 Jr 25:20; Lm 4:21 named Job. 1:1 Ezk 14:14,20; Jms 5:11 He was a man of complete integrity, 1:1 Jb 2:3; 8:20; 9:20–22 who feared God and turned away from evil. 1:1 Jb 28:28; Pr 3:7
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, 1:8 Ps 25:21; Pr 29:10 who fears God and turns away from evil." 1:8 Jb 28:28; Pr 3:7; 13:19; 14:16; 16:6,17
21 saying:
Naked I came from my mother’s womb, 1:21 Jb 3:10–11; 10:17–18; Jr 20:17–18
and naked I will leave this life. 1:21 Lit will return there; Ps 139:13,15, 1:21 Ps 139:13,15
The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord. 1:21 Jb 38:1; Ps 113:2; 118:26
