Job 1:6-12

6 1Now there was a day when the 2 3sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and 4Satan also came among them. 7The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “5From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8The Lord said to Satan, “Have you 6considered 7My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, 8a blameless and upright man, 9fearing God and turning away from evil.” 9Then 10Satan answered the 11Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 12Have You not made a fence around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? 13You have blessed the work of his hands, and his 14possessions have increased in the land. 11 15But reach out with Your hand now and 16touch all that he has; he will certainly curse You to Your face.” 12Then the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your 17power; only do not reach out and put your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
