And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes.

If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?-

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompense.

Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

Ye say , God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:

Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
