Job 1:6-12

6 aNow there was a day when the bsons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and ▼
▼ I.e. the adversary, and so throughout chs 1 and 2
Satan also came among them. 7The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, d“From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8The Lord said to Satan, “Have you ▼
▼ Lit set your heart to
considered fMy servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, ga blameless and upright man, ▼
▼ Or revering
fearing God and turning away from evil.” 9Then iSatan answered the ▼
▼ Lit Lord and said
Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 k“Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? lYou have blessed the work of his hands, and his mpossessions have increased in the land. 11 n“But put forth Your hand now and otouch 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 ▼
▼ Lit hand
power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
