Job 1:6-12
Lexham English Bible

6 And it happened one day[a] that[b] the sons of God[c] came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan[d] also came into their midst. 7 So[e] Yahweh said to Satan,[f] “From where have you come?”

Then[g] Satan[h] answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”

8 So[i] Yahweh said to Satan,[j] “Have you considered[k] my servant Job? Indeed,[l] there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.”

9 Then[m] Satan[n] answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have you[o] not put a fence around him and his household and around all that belongs to him[p] on every side?[q] You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock[r] has increased in the land. 11 But,[s] on the other hand, stretch out[t] your hand and touch all that belongs to him[u] and see whether[v] he will curse[w] you to your face.”

12 So[x] Yahweh said to Satan,[y] “Look, all that belongs to him[z] is in your power.[aa] Only do not stretch out your hand against[ab] him.” So[ac] Satan[ad] went out from Yahweh’s presence.[ae]
