Job 1 Summary

Job 1 introduces a blameless man who loses everything in a single day yet worships God instead of cursing him.

Job is righteous and prosperous, but in a heavenly scene Satan claims Job only serves God for blessings, and is permitted to test him.

In one day Job loses his wealth and children, yet he falls down and worships: ‘The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.’
