Job's Character and Wealth

1 There was a man in the land of ^(A)Uz whose name was ^(B)Job, and that man was ^(C)blameless and upright, one who ^(D)feared God and ^(E)turned away from evil.

¹¹ Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of ^(A)the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen ^(B)the purpose of the Lord, how ^(C)the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

^14 (A)even if these three men, ^(B)Noah, ^(C)Daniel, and ^(D)Job, were in it, ^(E)they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God.

²⁰ even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither son nor daughter. They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.

³ And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still ^(A)holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him ^(B)without reason.”

⁸ And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you ^(A)considered my ^(B)servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, ^(C)a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”

Noah and the Flood

⁹ These are the generations of Noah. ^(A)Noah was a righteous man, ^(B)blameless in his generation. Noah ^(C)walked with God.
