Satan answered the Lord and said, "From _m going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it." ⁸ And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you _n considered my _o servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, _p a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?" ⁹ Then Satan answered the Lord and said, "Does Job fear God for no reason? ¹⁰ Have you not put _q a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have _r blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. ¹¹ But _s stretch out your hand and _t touch all that he has, and he will _u curse you _v to your face." ¹² And the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand." So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
