1:5 [hgb]  筵 宴 的 日 子 过 了 ， 约 伯 打 发 人 去 叫 他 们 自 洁 。 他 清 早 起 来 ， 按 着 他 们 众 人 的 数 目 献 燔 祭 。 因 为 他 说 ， 恐 怕 我 儿 子 犯 了 罪 ， 心 中 弃 掉 神 。 约 伯 常 常 这 样 行 。
    [kjv]  And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, 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 did Job continually.
    [bbe]  And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.

1:12 [hgb]  耶 和 华 对 撒 但 说 ， 凡 他 所 有 的 都 在 你 手 中 。 只 是 不 可 伸 手 加 害 于 他 。 于 是 撒 但 从 耶 和 华 面 前 退 去 。
    [kjv]  And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold⁷, 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.
    [bbe]  And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
