There was a man in the country of Uz named Job. He was a man of complete integrity, who feared God and turned away from evil.
So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned fourteen thousand sheep and goats, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not remain on the earth.
The one who leads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.
