Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

ClVg Cui respondens Satan, ait: Numquid Job frustra timet Deum?[fn]
(Cui responding Satan, he_said: Numquid Yob frustra timet God? )
1.9 Nunquid frustra Job timet Deum? etc. Ibid. Diabolus venisse redemptorem senserat, sed, propter humilia quæ passus est, quidquid de deitate suspicatus est, ei in dubium evenit pro sua superbia, et non Deum natum, sed Dei gratia custoditum credidit. Nonne vallasti? Domum vallatam dicit, quia tentando conscientiam ejus penetrare non potuit substantiam, quia electos ejus invadere non præsumpsit. Possessio illius crevit. Ibid. Quasi: quia tot bona in terra recepit, pro his se innocenter gerit: sed innocens non esset si inter adversa staret: quia nequit in die, in nocte adversorum, vult reprobare. Non ergo vires Job, sed quemque verius adversis probare sciens, tentandum expetit. Sed extende, nec vires feriendi sibi tribuit; voluntas ejus semper iniqua, quæ ab ipso est: potestas justa, quæ a Deo; unde: Spiritus Domini malus in Saul, et Domini est per licentiam, et malus per voluntatem. Manum. Ibid. Queritur quod numerus fidelium prædicantibus apostolis augetur: hoc Satan dicere, est talia invidendo cogitare, et de his tabescendo dolere.

Manum. Ibid. Queritur that numerus fidelium prædicantibus apostolis augetur: this Satan dicere, it_is talia invidendo cogitare, and about his tabescendo dolere.
1:9-11 Job has good reason (Hebrew khinnam; see study note on 2:3) to fear God: The wisdom tradition links piety with prosperity. Satan went a step further by suggesting that Job’s piety was contingent upon his affluence.

הַֽחִנָּ֔ם יָרֵ֥א אִיּ֖וֹב אֱלֹהִֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered the,satan DOM YHWH and,said the,for_nothing fearing ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) ʼElohīm )
The adversary is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Job gets a lot in return for fearing God!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
אֱלֹהִֽים
ʼElohīm
The adversary is speaking about God in the third person, even though he is addressing him directly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: “you”
