Job 1:5–11

⁵And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and ^hoffered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and ⁱcursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job ^†continually.

⁶Now ^jthere was a day when ^kthe sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and ^†Satan came also ^†among them. ⁷And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, ^lFrom going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. ⁸And the Lord said unto Satan, ^†Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, ^ma perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? ⁹Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? ¹⁰Hast not thou ⁿmade an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? ^othou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his ^||substance ^pis increased in the land. ^11qBut put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, ^†and he will curse thee ^rto thy face.
