And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant __________, that there is none like him (her) in the earth, a perfect and an upright man (woman), one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth __________ fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him (her), and about his (her) house, and about all that he (she) hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his (her) hands, and his (her) substance is increased in the land.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he (she) hath, and he (she) will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. (Job 1:8-12)





(WHAT DID JOB DO) (WHAT SHOULD WE DO)



In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. (Job 1:22)



(JOB’S WIFE SAID, CURSE GOD AND DIE, BUT JOB SAID)



But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. (Job 2:10)

(GOD SPOKE)



Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.(Job 40:1-2)



Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? (Job 40:6-10)



(GOD SAID, STAND UP TALL AND BE WHAT I INTENDED)



Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. (Job 40:6-10)



(JOB SPEAKS)



Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 42:1-6)



(THE RESULT OF IT ALL)



And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. (Job 42:10)

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. (Job 42:12)
