The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”

And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”

Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

And the Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.”

And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason.”

If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind? Why have you made me your mark? Why have I become a burden to you?

Have you eyes of flesh? Do you see as man sees?

Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

Have you not asked those who travel the roads, and do you not accept their testimony

With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come out from you?

Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

“Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,

“Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?

Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.

“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,

Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
