The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”

“From roaming through the earth,” Satan answered Him, “and walking around on it.”

He breaks through my defenses again and again;
He charges at me like a warrior.

He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through;
He has veiled my paths with darkness.

Yet you say: “What does God know?
Can He judge through thick darkness?

when His lamp shone above my head,
and I walked through darkness by His light!

They advance as through a gaping breach;
they keep rolling in through the ruins.

He saturates clouds with moisture;
He scatters His lightning through them.

Now men cannot even look at the sun
when it is in the skies,
after a wind has swept through and cleared them away.

Can you put a cord through his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
