And the LORD said to 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 the LORD.

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

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

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

For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?

Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?

On the left hand, where 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? will he always call upon God?

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred 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 should set his heart upon man, if he should gather to himself his spirit and his breath;

When he raiseth himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
