1 There was a man in the land of Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing evil.

2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

3 And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred sheasses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.
