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.
On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
