6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan also came into their midst. 7 And YHWH said to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered YHWH and said, “From roaming on the earth, and walking back and forth on it.” 8 And YHWH said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job, how there is no one like him on the earth, a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil?” 9 And Satan answered YHWH and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have you not put a hedge around him and around his house, and around all that is unto him, surrounding on every side? The work of his hands You have blessed, and the animals of his possession have burst forth in the land. 11 But now stretch out Your hand and touch against all that is unto him, if he will not curse you to your face!” 12 And YHWH said to Satan, “Behold, all that is unto him is in your hand; only against him do not stretch out your hand.” And Satan went out from the face of YHWH.
