Job 1:8-12

8And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH3820H7760 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451?1

9Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 YhwhH3068, and saidH559, Doth JobH347 fearH3372 GodH430 for noughtH2600?

10Hast not thou made an hedgeH7753 about him, and aboutH1157 his houseH1004, and about all that he hath on every sideH5439? thou hast blessedH1288 the workH4639 of his handsH3027, and his substanceH4735 is increasedH6555 in the landH776.2

11ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 all that he hath, and he will curseH3808H1288 thee to thy faceH6440.3

12And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy powerH3027; only upon himself put not forthH7971 thine handH3027. So SatanH7854 went forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of YhwhH3068.4
