The Righteousness of Job

Iob sōðlīċe ārās on ðām eahteoðan dæġe on ǣrnemeriġen and offrode Gode seofonfealde lāc for his seofon sunum, ðȳ lǣs ðe hī wið God on heora ġeðance āgylton. [10] Ðus dyde Iob eallum dagum for his sunum, and hī swā ġehālgode.
[11] Hit ġelamp on sumum dæġe, ðā ðā Godes enġlas cōmon and on his ġesihðe stōdon, ðā wæs ēac swylċe se scucca him betwux. [12] Tō ðām cwæð Drihten, "Hwanon cōme ðū?" [13] Se sceocca andwyrde, "Iċ fērde ġeond þās eorðan and hī beēode." [14] Drihten cwæð, "Ne behēolde ðū, lā, mīnne ðēowan Iob, þæt nān man nis his ġelīca on eorðan, bilewite man and rihtwīs, ondrǣdende God and yfel forbūgende?"
[15] Swā stōd se dēofol on Godes ġesihðe swā swā dēð se blinda on sunnan. [16] Sēo sunne ymbscīnð þone blindan, and se blinda ne ġesihð þǣre sunnan lēoman.

Job truly arose on the eighteenth day in the early morning and offered God sevenfold sacrifices for his seven sons, lest they might turn away from God in their thoughts. Thus did Job all his days for his sons, and they so sanctified.
It happened on a certain day, when the angels of God came and stood in his sight, that there was also such a fiend among them. To this said the Lord, "Whence comest thou?" The fiend answered, "I have gone to and fro in the earth, and walked up and down in it." The Lord said, "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, a perfect man and upright, one that feareth God and escheweth evil?" So stood the devil in God's sight as does the blind before the sun. The sun shines upon the blind man, yet the blind cannot see its light.
