約伯的敬虔
1烏斯有一個人名叫約伯,他純全正直,敬畏上帝,遠離罪惡. 2他有七子三女, 3七千隻羊,三千隻駱駝,五百對牛,五百頭母驢及許多僕婢.他在東方人中最富有. 4約伯的兒子們經常輪流在自己家裡設宴,派人邀請他們的三個姊妹來一起吃喝. 5宴會的日子結束後,約伯便派人召來他的兒女,為他們行潔淨禮.他清早起來,為他們每個人獻上燔祭,因為他想:「也許我的孩子們犯了罪,心中褻瀆了上帝.」約伯常常這樣做.
撒旦控告約伯
6有一天,眾天使1·6 「眾天使」希伯來文是「上帝的眾子」,2·1和38·7同.來朝見耶和華,撒旦也在他們當中. 7耶和華問撒旦:「你從哪裡來?」撒旦答道:「我在地上到處遊走.」 8耶和華問撒旦:「你注意到我的僕人約伯了嗎?世上沒有人像他那樣純全正直,敬畏我,遠離罪惡.」 9撒旦說:「約伯敬畏你難道無緣無故嗎? 10你豈不是像籬笆一樣四面保護他及其全家和一切產業嗎?你使他事事蒙福,牛羊遍地. 11倘若你伸手毀壞他擁有的一切,他必當面褻瀆你.」 12耶和華對撒旦說:「好吧,他的一切都在你手中,但不可傷害他.」撒旦便從耶和華面前退去.
約伯失去所有
13有一天,約伯的兒女正在長兄家吃喝, 14有報信的人來對約伯說:「牛正在耕田,驢正在旁邊吃草的時候, 15示巴人忽然來襲,搶走了牲口,用刀殺了你的僕人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信.」 16話音未落,又有人來報信說:「上帝的火從天而降,燒死了羊群和牧人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信.」 17話音未落,又有人來報信說:「迦勒底人分三隊來襲,搶走了駱駝,用刀殺了你的僕人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信.」 18話音未落,又有人來報信說:「你的兒女正在長兄家吃喝的時候, 19忽然從曠野颳來一陣狂風,摧毀了房子四角,房子倒塌,壓死了屋裡所有的人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信.」
20約伯站起來,撕裂外袍,剃掉頭髮,俯伏在地上敬拜, 21說:「我從母腹赤身而來,也必赤身而去.賞賜的是耶和華,收回的也是耶和華.耶和華的名當受稱頌!」 22約伯遭此不幸,仍沒有犯罪,也沒有埋怨上帝.
