2And Yahweh said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.”
3And Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, 1fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still aholds fast his integrity. So you incited Me against him to swallow him up in vain.”
