Bible verse
But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
Job 1:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 1.
7 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
11 But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
12 “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
13 One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 a messenger came and reported to Job: “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
