This is the story of the life of Job, taken out of the book called
The Testament of Job.

There came a day when Job felt that his end was near; and he called
together his seven sons and his three daughters, and said to them:

Come near to me, my children, and I will tell you the story of my
life, and all the dealings of the Lord with me. You must know, in the
first place, that before He gave me a new name, I was called Jobab;
and that I come of the family of Isaac--for I am one of the sons of
Esau, Jacob's brother. Now, long ago, I used to dwell hard by the
temple of an idol, and every day I saw people coming and bringing
offerings, and burning sacrifices before it. But as time went on, I
could not believe that this idol was indeed the God who made the
heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and us men. I pondered much,
therefore, upon this matter, saying, "How shall I come to know the
truth of it?"

Thereafter, as I lay upon my bed, in the middle of the night, a bright
light suddenly shone in my chamber, and I heard a voice calling me,
"Jobab, Jobab!" (and I answered, "Here am I"). And the voice said, "Rise
up, and I will tell thee that which I have to say. Verily, this idol to
whom offerings are brought, and wine poured out in libations, is not a
god, but is a work of the evil power whereby he deceives the sons of
men." Then I bowed myself down and said, "Lord, who hast come to
enlighten my soul, I beseech thee, give me leave to go and cleanse this
place that is polluted by the enemy, so that offerings shall no more be
made to him; but, indeed, who is there that can withstand me, seeing
that I am ruler over this country?"
