Job 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for [a]nought?
10 Hast thou not made [b]an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But stretch out now thine hand and [c]touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee [d]to thy face.
