Job 1:8-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

8. And יהוה said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Iyoḇ, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and straight man, one who fears Elohim and turns aside from evil?”

9. And Satan answered יהוה and said, “Is Iyoḇ fearing Elohim for naught?

10. “Have You not made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

11. But stretch out Your hand, please, and strike all that he has – if he would not curse You to Your face!”

12. And יהוה said to Satan, “See, all that he has is in your hand. Only do not lay a hand on himself.” And Satan went out from the presence of יהוה.

13. And the day came to be when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the first-born.
