1 Byl muž v zemi Uz, jménem Job, a muž ten byl sprostný a upřímý, boje se Boha, a vystříhaje se zlého.

2 Kterémuž se narodilo sedm synů a tři dcery.

3 A měl dobytka sedm tisíc ovec, tři tisíce velbloudů, pět set spřežení volů, a pět set oslic, a čeledi služebné velmi mnoho, a byl muž ten vznešenější nade všecky lidi východní.

1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
