Job
Satan claims Job fears God because he is protected and blessed, saying God has put a "hedge" around him and his household (Job 1:9–10). Satan argues that if Job’s possessions are touched, Job will curse God to his face (Job 1:11).
9Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
10Haven`t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."
