Job 1:6-8

New Century Version

Satan Appears Before the Lord

⁶ One day the angels came to show themselves before the Lord, and Satan^[a] was with them. ⁷ The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “I have been wandering around the earth, going back and forth in it.”

⁸ Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him. He is an honest and innocent man, honoring God and staying away from evil.”
