USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: “Uhambahamba emhlabeni nasemuva naphambili kuwo. UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Ingabe uyiqaphele inceku yami uJobe ukuthi akakho ofana naye emhlabeni, umuntu oqotho noqotho, owesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ogwema okubi? futhi usagcina ubuqotho bakhe, noma ungivusele kuye ukuba ngimchithe ngeze. USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: Isikhumba ngesikhumba, yebo, konke umuntu anakho uyakunika ngokuphila kwakhe. Kepha manje yelula isandla sakho, uthinte emathanjeni akhe nasenyameni yakhe, uyakukuthuka ebusweni bakho. Wayesethi uJehova kuSathane: “Bheka, usesandleni sakho; kodwa usindise impilo yakhe. USathane wayesesuka ebusweni bukaJehova, wamshaya uJobe ngamathumba, kusukela ematheni ezinyawo zakhe kuze kufike okhakhayini. Wasethatha isitsha sobumba ukuze azinwaye ngaso; wahlala phansi emlotheni.
