1:6 Now the day came when 12 the sons of God 13 came to present themselves before 14 the Lord – and Satan 15 also arrived among them. 1:7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” 16 And Satan answered the Lord, 17 “From roving about 18 on the earth, and from walking back and forth across it.” 19 1:8 So the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered 20 my servant Job? There 21 is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away 22 from evil.”
1:9 Then Satan answered the Lord, “Is it for nothing that Job fears God? 23 1:10 Have you 24 not made a hedge 25 around him and his household and all that he has on every side? You have blessed 26 the work of his hands, and his livestock 27 have increased 28 in the land. 1:11 But 29 extend your hand and strike 30 everything he has, and he will no doubt 31 curse you 32 to your face!”
