Gen22..1 Now it came to pass after
these things that GOD tested
Abraham, and said to
him, "Abraham!" And he
said, "Here I am."
2 Then He said, "Take now
your son, your only Isaac,
whom you love, and go to
the land of Moriah, and
offer him there as a burnt
offering on one of the
mountains of which, I shall
tell you."
Deut8..1 Every commandment which I
command you today you must be
careful to observe, that you
may live and multiply, and go
in and possess the land of
which the LORD swore to your
fathers.
2 And you shall remember that
the LORD your GOD led you all
the way these forty years in
the wilderness, to humble
you, test you, to know what
is in your heart, whether you
would keep His commandments
or not. (4 x ten)
2Chron32..31 GOD withdrew from him, in
order to test him, that He
might know all in his heart.
Job1..8 Then the LORD said to
satan, "Have you considered
My servant Job, none like him
on the earth, a perfect and
upright man, one who fears
GOD and shuns evil?"
9 So satan answered the LORD
and said, "Does Job fear GOD
for nothing?
10 "Have You not made a hedge
around him, around his
household, and around all
that he has on every side?
You have blessed the work of
his hands, and his
possessions have increased in
the land.
11 "But now, stretch out Your
hand and touch all that he
has, and he will surely curse
You to Your face!"

12 And the LORD said to
satan, "Behold, all that he
has in your power; only do
not lay a hand on him." So
satan went out from the
presence of the LORD.
13 Now there was a day when
his sons and daughters (were)
eating and drinking wine in
their oldest brother's house;
14 And a messenger came to
Job and said, "The oxen were
plowing and the donkeys
feeding beside them,
15 "When the Sabeans raided
and took them away - indeed
they have killed the servants
with the edge of the sword;
and I alone have escaped to
tell you!"
16 While he still spoke,
another also came and
said, "The fire of GOD fell
from heaven and burned up the
sheep and the servants, and
consumed them; and I alone
have escaped to tell you!"
17 While he still spoke,
another also came and
said, "The Chaldeans formed
three bands, raided the
camels and took them away,
yes, and killed the servants
with the edge of the sword;
and I alone have escaped to
tell you!"
18 While he still spoke,
another also came and
said, "Your sons and
daughters (were) eating and
drinking wine in their oldest
brother's house,
19 "And suddenly a great wind
came from across the
wilderness and struck the
four corners of the house,
and it fell on the young
people and they are dead; and
I alone have escaped to tell
you!"
20 Then Job arose, tore his
robe, and shaved his head;
and he fell to the ground and
worshipped.
21 And he said: "Naked I came
from my mother's womb, and
naked shall I return there.
The LORD gave, and the LORD
has taken away; blessed be
the name of the LORD."

22 In all this Job did not
sin nor charge GOD with wrong.
Job2..1 Again there was a day when
the sons of GOD came to
present themselves before the
LORD, and satan came also
among them to present himself
before the LORD.
2 And the LORD said to
satan, "From where do you
come?" So satan answered the
LORD and said, "From going to
and fro on the earth, and
from walking back and forth
on it."
3 Then the LORD said to
satan, "Have you considered
My servant Job, none like him
on the earth, a perfect and
upright man, one who fears
GOD and shuns evil? And still
he holds fast to his
integrity, although you
incited Me against him, to
destroy him without cause."
4 So satan answered the LORD
and said, "Skin for skin!
Yes, all that a man has he
will give for his life.
5 "But stretch out Your hand
now, and touch his bone and
his flesh, and he will surely
curse You to Your face!"
6 And the LORD said to
satan, "Behold, he in your
hand, but spare his life."
7 So satan went out from the
presence of the LORD, and
struck Job with painful boils
from the sole of his foot to
the crown of his head.
8 And he took for himself a
potsherd with which to scrape
himself while he sat in the
midst of the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to
him, "Do you still hold
fast to your integrity?
Curse GOD and die!"
10 But he said to her, "You
speak as one of the foolish
women speaks. Shall we indeed
accept good from GOD, and
shall we not accept
adversity?" In all this Job
did not sin with his lips.
