Job 1:8-12 ▼

8 And the Lorde saide vnto Satan: Hast thou not considered my seruaunt Iob, how there is none lyke him in the earth? a perfect and a iust man, one that feareth God, and eschueth euill?

9 Satan aunswered, and saide vnto the Lorde: Doth Iob feare God for naught?

10 Hast thou not preserued him and his house, and al that he hath on euery side? Thou hast blessed the worke of his handes, and his possession is encreased in the lande.

11 But laye thyne hand now vpon him, and touche all that he hath, and he shall curse thee to thy face.

12 And the Lorde saide vnto Satan: Lo, all that he hath be in thy power, only vpon him selfe see that thou lay not thine hand. And Satan went foorth from the presence of the Lorde.
