The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” The Lord said to Satan, “Have you [b]considered My servant Job?

And he still (B)holds firm to his integrity, although you incited Me against him to [d]ruin him without cause.”
