Now there was a day, when the sons of God came to present themselues before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

And the Lord said vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking vp and downe in it.

And the Lord sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou considered my seruant Iob, that there is none like him in the earth? A perfect and an vpright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?

Then Satan answered ye Lord, and sayd, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? Thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

But put foorth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the Lord said vnto Satan, Behold, all that hee hath is in thy power, onely vpon himselfe put not foorth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
