Job 1:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “You always give Job everything he needs,” Satan replied. “That’s why he has respect for you. ¹⁰ Haven’t you guarded him and his family? Haven’t you taken care of everything he has? You have blessed everything he does. His flocks and herds are spread all through the land. ¹¹ But now reach out your hand and strike down everything he has. Then I’m sure he will speak evil things against you. In fact, he’ll do it right in front of you.”
