Job
Satan was given permission to test Job further.

Job

The Book of Job is the eighteenth book in the Bible and the first of the Poetic Books. It is thought to be the oldest book in the Bible as Job lived in the same period as Abraham, long before the time of Moses who wrote the first five of the Historical Books. The Book of Job tells us of his suffering; the loss of his family, his health and his money. This suffering takes away Job's pride and he acknowledges God's greatness and power.

All quotations from the Bible are taken from the Authorised King James Version.

when the morning stars sang together,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
