6And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
7And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
8And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?
9And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Is it for nothing that Job is a god-fearing man?
10Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?
11But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
12And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
