6Now
there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD,
and Satan came also among them.
7And
the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8And
the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth evil?
9Then
Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
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.
11But
put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to
thy face.
12And
the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon
himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the
LORD.
Job 2
1Again
there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD,
and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2And
the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD,
and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in
it.
3And
the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou
movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4And
Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will
he give for his life.
5But
put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse
thee to thy face.
6And
the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
