Job was a right and just man,
He did not follow the ways of wicked men.
He followed in the way of the Lord,
Job had God as his protector.
Job had prosperity in everything,
His house always had all the good things.
He walked with God all his days,
To the Lord, his life was dedicated.
Satan walked through the earth and went to the Lord,
God talked to him about the fidelity of Job.
Then, Satan decided to test Him,
Saying if Job were poor, he would not love Him.
The proposed challenge, the Lord, accepted,
And Satan went to Job and took away all he had.
Even in great distress, Job did not complain,
He knew all he had was the Lord who had given,
And That One, who gave, also had taken.
Satan went to speak with God again,
About Job, God made new comments.
Another time, Satan wished to challenge him,
So, God allowed Satan to sicken him.
A deep sore in Job was put,
All his flesh was bruised and hurt.
Even passing through so great suffering,
Job did not open his mouth to complain.
He accepted everything that happened to him,
And against the Lord, he did not say anything.
