Notes de l'éditeur
- Job was very wealthy and happy. The Bible says he was the greatest of all men of the East. Satan looked around the earth & God asked if he considered Job. Satan said of course he is righteous but take away his stuff and he will curse you to your face. God told Satan he could do everything to him but take his life. So on Job’s oldest son’s birthday a messenger told him a group of people stole all his animals and killed his servants. Another said lightning burned his sheep and servants and the messenger was the only one to escape. Then another messenger said a whirlwind came destroying his brother’s house and everyone in it, including all his children. But Job still worshipped the Lord saying “Naked I came into the World, naked I’ll go. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Then Satan came again saying “touch his body and he’ll curse you.” So Job got sick with painful sores from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. His wife even told him to curse God and die but he still remained faithful. In the end the Lord restored his fortunes doubling all he had before.
