1 There was a man named Job, living in the land of Uz, who worshipped God and was faithful to him. He was a good man, careful not to do anything evil.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters,
3 and owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 1,000 head of cattle, and 500 donkeys. He also had a large number of servants and was the richest man in the East.
4 Job's sons used to take it in turns to give a feast, to which all the others would come, and they always invited their three sisters to join them.
