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.

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.

Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.

Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, And the integrity of thy ways thy hope?

Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones to shake.

Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God.

Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?

Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,

Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—

Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear;

He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword.

Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.
