Satan Takes Job's Property and Children

Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,

“He has put my brothers far from me, and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me.

For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing and stripped the naked of their clothing.

I am a brother of jackals and a companion of ostriches.

Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.

And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
