Satan Tests Job the Second Time

The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From traveling around the earth and walking around on it.” The Lord said to Satan, “Have you thought about My servant Job?

He still holds to his good ways, even when I allowed you to go against him, and to destroy him for no reason.”
