1 Il y avait au pays de Huts un homme appelé Job ; et cet homme était intègre et droit, craignant Dieu, et se détournant du mal.

2 Il eut sept fils et trois filles.

3 Et son bétail était de sept mille brebis, trois mille chameaux, cinq cents paires de bœufs, et cinq cents ânesses, avec un grand nombre de serviteurs; tellement que cet homme était le plus puissant de tous les Orientaux.

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.
