Job 1:6-12

6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.12 7And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,3 fFrom going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it. 8And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil?4 9Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nothing? 10Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.5 11But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.6 12And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.7
