Satan Attacks Job’s Character

⁶ Now ^(A)there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and ^[a]Satan also came among them. ⁷ And the Lord said to ^[b]Satan, “From where do you come?”

So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From ^(B)going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now ^(A)the ruler of this world will be cast out.

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

⁷ And war broke out in heaven: ^(A)Michael and his angels fought ^(B)with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, ⁸ but they ^[a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for ^[b]them in heaven any longer. ⁹ So ^(C)the great dragon was cast out, ^(D)that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, ^(E)who deceives the whole world; ^(F)he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹² Therefore ^(A)rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! ^(B)Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, ^(C)because he knows that he has a short time.”
