The day comes when a heavenly council convenes. At this time, the "sons of God" present themselves before the Lord, and Satan appears among them. God praises Job's blameless and upright behavior, but Satan challenges this, suggesting that Job's piety is merely a result of the prosperity and protection he enjoys. Satan argues that if Job's wealth and family were taken away, he would surely curse God.
God permits Satan to test Job, allowing him to take away everything Job has, except for his life. In a series of calamities, Job loses his oxen, donkeys, sheep, camels, and servants to raiding parties and natural disasters. Even more tragically, a windstorm causes the house where Job's children are feasting to collapse, killing all of them.
Job’s response to these profound losses is one of sorrow, not of resentment or blame towards God, demonstrating his unwavering faithfulness.
