Job 1:1-8
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And that man was pure and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.Seven sons and three daughters were born to him.His possessions included 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys; in addition he had a very great household. Thus he was the greatest of all the people in the east.Now his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one in turn, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.When the days of their feasting were finished, Job would send for them and sanctify them; he would get up early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job thought,“ Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s customary practice.Now the day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD– and Satan also arrived among them.The LORD said to Satan,“ Where have you come from?” And Satan answered the LORD,“ From roving about on the earth, and from walking back and forth across it.”So the LORD said to Satan,“ Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil.”
