Job 2:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.

2 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”

3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
