| 1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD. | 1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. | 1 One day when the sons of God came to stand in front of the LORD, Satan the Accuser came along with them. | 1 Again it happened on the day when the God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh. | 1 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah. | 2 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it." | 2 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. | 2 The LORD asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From wandering all over the earth." | 2 Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." | 2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. | 3 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause." | 3 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. | 3 The LORD asked Satan, "Have you thought about my servant Job? No one in the world is like him! He is a man of integrity: He is decent, he fears God, and he stays away from evil. And he still holds on to his principles. You're trying to provoke me into ruining him for no reason." | 3 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause." | 3 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause. | 4 Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. | 4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. | 4 Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! Certainly, a man will give everything he has for his life. | 4 Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. | 4 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life; | 5 "However, put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face." | 5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. | 5 But stretch out your hand, and strike his flesh and bones. I bet he'll curse you to your face." | 5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face." | 5 but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and see if he will not curse thee to thy face! | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 So the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your power, only spare his life." | 6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. | 6 The LORD told Satan, "He is in your power, but you must spare his life!" | 6 Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life." | 6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life. | 7 Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. | 7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. | 7 Satan left the LORD's presence and struck Job with painful boils from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. | 7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head. | 7 And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown. | 8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself while he was sitting among the ashes. | 8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. | 8 Job took a piece of broken pottery to scratch himself as he sat in the ashes. | 8 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes. | 8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes. | 9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!" | 9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. | 9 His wife asked him, "Are you still holding on to your principles? Curse God and die!" | 9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die." | 9 And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die. | 10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips. | 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. | 10 He said to her, "You're talking like a godless fool. We accept the good that God gives us. Shouldn't we also accept the bad?" Through all this Job's lips did not utter one sinful word. | 10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job didn't sin with his lips. | 10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and comfort him. | 11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. | 11 When Job's three friends heard about all the terrible things that had happened to him, each of them came from his home-Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, Zophar of Naama. They had agreed they would go together to sympathize with Job and comfort him. | 11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him. | 11 And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him. | 12 When they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them tore his robe and they threw dust over their heads toward the sky. | 12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. | 12 When they saw him from a distance, they didn't even recognize him. They cried out loud and wept, and each of them tore his own clothes in grief. They threw dust on their heads. | 12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn't recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky. | 12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens. | 13 Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great. | 13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great. | 13 Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him because they saw that he was in such great pain. Job Curses the Day He Was Born | 13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great. | 13 And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that his anguish was very great. |
