All Job Has Is in Satan’s Hand
6 (A)Now it was the day that the (B)sons of God came to stand before [a]Yahweh, and [b]Satan also came among them. 7 And Yahweh said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “(C)From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 8 Then Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon (D)My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, (E)a blameless and upright man, [c]fearing God and turning away from evil.” 9 And (F)Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job [d]fear God without cause? 10 (G)Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? (H)You have blessed the work of his hands, and his (I)possessions have increased in the land. 11 (J)But send forth Your hand now and (K)touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.” 12 Then Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand, only do not send forth your hand toward him.” So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.

New King James Version
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.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you [c]considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and [d]shuns evil?”
9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 (C)Have You not [e]made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? (D)You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 (E)But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely (F)curse[f] You to Your face!”
12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your [g]power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
