Satan

And Satan stoode vp against Israel, and prouoked Dauid to nomber Israel.

Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them.

Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.

And the Lord saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?

Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?

Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.

And on a day the children of God came and stood before the Lord, and Satan came also among them, and stoode before the Lord.

Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and sayd, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.

And the Lord sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? for yet he continueth in his vprightnesse, although thou mouedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

And Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue for his life.

Then the Lord said vnto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but saue his life.

So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore boyles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.

Set thou the wicked ouer him, and let the aduersarie stand at his right hand.

And he shewed mee Iehoshua the hie Priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan stoode at his right hand to resist him.

And the Lord said vnto Satan, The Lord reprooue thee, O Satan: euen the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem, reprooue thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?

Then sayd Iesus vnto him, Auoyde Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue.

It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lord. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde?

But when the Pharises heard it, they saide, This man casteth the deuils no otherwise out, but through Beelzebub the prince of deuils.

So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deuided against himself: how shall then his kingdom endure?

Also if I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your iudges.

Then he turned backe, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behinde me, Satan: thou art an offence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the thinges that are of God, but the thinges that are of men.

And he was there in the wildernesse fourtie daies, and was tempted of Satan: hee was also with the wilde beastes, and the Angels ministred vnto him.

And the Scribes which came downe from Hierusalem, saide, He hath Beelzebub, and through the prince of the deuils he casteth out deuils.

But he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, How can Satan driue out Satan?

So if Satan make insurrection against himselfe, and be deuided, hee can not endure but is at an ende.
