(Job 1:8-12)
"Did you notice my servant Job?" the Lord asked. "There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil."
Satan replied, "Would Job worship you if he got nothing out of it? You have always protected him and his family and everything he owns. You bless everything he does, and you have given him enough cattle to fill the whole country. But now suppose you take away everything he has- he will curse you to your face!"
"All right," the Lord said to Satan, "everything he has is your power, but you must not hurt Job himself." So Satan left.
