Job 1:6-12

6 1Now there was a day when the 2sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and 3Satan also came among them. 7The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “4From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8The Lord said to Satan, “Have you 5considered 6My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, 7a blameless and upright man, 8fearing God and turning away from evil.” 9Then 9Satan answered the 10Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 11Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? 12You have blessed the work of his hands, and his 13possessions have increased in the land. 11 14But put forth Your hand now and 15touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.” 12Then the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your 16power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
