Job 1:6-12

6 aNow there was a day when the
I.e., prob. angels
,
csons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and
Heb ha-satan; i.e., the adversary, and so throughout the ch
Satan also came among them.
7The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “ eFrom roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8The Lord said to Satan, “Have you
Lit set your heart on
considered gMy servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, ha blameless and upright man,
Or revering
fearing God and turning away from evil.”
9Then jSatan answered the
Lit Lord and said
Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 lHave You not made a fence around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? mYou have blessed the work of his hands, and his npossessions have increased in the land. 11 oBut reach out with Your hand now and ptouch 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
Lit hand
power; only do not reach out and put your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
