9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Hast thou not made a hedge about him and about his house and about all that he has on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands; therefore, his substance has increased in the land.
11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he has, and thou shalt see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
12 And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power; only upon himself do not put forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;
14 and a messenger came unto Job and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;
15 and the Sabeans {Heb. those of Sheba} fell upon them and took them away; they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
