• Job 1:1-5 : 1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and avoided evil. 2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. 4 And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and they would send and call for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually.
