Job’s Character and Wealth
1 There was a man in the land of Jer. 25:20;Lam. 4:21Uz whose name was Ezek. 14:14,20;James 5:11Job, and that man was ver. 8;ch. 2:3;[ch. 9:20;Gen. 6:9;17:1] blameless and upright, one who ch. 4:6;Prov. 16:6feared God and [ch. 28:28;Ps. 34:14]turned away from evil.
8 And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you ch. 2:3considered my Num. 12:7;2 Sam. 7:5;Isa. 20:3servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, ver. 1a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?"
21 And he said, Eccles. 5:15;[Ps. 49:17;1 Tim. 6:7] "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I [Gen. 3:19;Ps. 90:3;Eccles. 12:7] return. The Lord[Eccles. 5:19;James 1:17] gave, and the Lord has taken away; Ps. 113:2;Dan. 2:20;[Eph. 5:20;1 Thess. 5:18]blessed be the name of the Lord."
