3
And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God (Elohim) and turning aside from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!'

English Translation
And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you set your heart on my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil; and still he holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason."
