Job 1:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 So[a] Yahweh said to Satan,[b] “Have you considered[c] my servant Job? Indeed,[d] there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.”
9 Then[e] Satan[f] answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have you[g] not put a fence around him and his household and around all that belongs to him[h] on every side?[i] You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock[j] has increased in the land.
