Job 1,10

Protection and safetyMoney and wealth

8 Da sa Herren til Satan: "Har du lagt merke til min tjener Job? Det er ingen som ham på jorden; han er ulastelig og rettskaffen, en mann som frykter Gud og unngår det onde."

9 Satan svarte Herren: "Frykter Job Gud for ingenting?"

"Har du ikke satt en hekk rundt ham og hans husstand og alt han eier? Du har velsignet hans henders verk, og hans buskap har spredt seg over hele landet.

11 Men rekk ut din hånd nå og rør ved alt han har, og han vil sikkert forbanne deg rett opp i ansiktet."

12 Herren sa til Satan: "Vel, alt han har er i din makt, men legg ikke hånd på mannen selv." Så Satan dro bort fra Herrens nærvær.
