Job 2:1-3

New Living Translation

Job’s Second Test

2 One day the members of the heavenly court^[a] came again to present themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser, Satan,^[b] came with them. ² “Where have you come from?” the Lord asked Satan.

Satan answered the Lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.”

³ Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil. And he has maintained his integrity, even though you urged me to harm him without cause.”
