Product Description
by King James (Author)
This keepsake edition of The Book of Job was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years.
The Book of Job is one of the best known books of the Bible and it has been deeply influential in Western culture. Job is introduced as a righteous man, blessed with wealth, sons, and daughters. God asks Satan for his opinion of Job's piety. Satan answers that Job is pious only because God has blessed him; if God were to take away everything that Job had, then he would surely curse God. God gives Satan permission to take Job's wealth and kill all of his children and servants, but Job remains steadfast and continues to praises God.
