One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also was among them. The Lord said to Satan, "Where have you been." So Satan answered the Lord and said, "I was going to different places on the earth and moving around."
Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you taken deep thought of my servant Job, there is none to be compared to him in the whole world, for he is a righteous man who is above reproach in everything he does. He is marked by a reverent awe of God, and power to continually turn away from evil."
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, "Does Job revere God without a reason." Have you not put your protection on him, and on his household, and on everything he has, protecting it completely.? You have made his work to prosper, and increased his possession. But if you would now reach out Your hand and take all of his possessions, he will most asuradly speak cursing to you, right in front of you."
And the Lord said to Satan, "Look, all of his possessions I put under your authority; yet do not come close to Job himself"
Then Satan went away from the Lord.
