Part 1
The greatest sin is pride. Pride leads to all other sins.
At first it is stated that Job was blameless and upright, he feared God and shunned evil. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. He praised God every day.
Well, Satan saw this and said to God that the only reason Job was faithful because God had protected his household and everthing Job had as well as blessing all work done by Job's hand. And Satan said that Job would surely curse God to his face if everthing Job had was taken from him. So God gave every possesion of Jobs over to Satan and Satan destroyed his livestock, sheep and servants, camels, and his children.
"At this Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:
'Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.'
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing."
