 "question": "What charge does Satan bring against Job?",
 "answer": "Satan answers God with an accusation against His servant: \"Does Job fear God for nothing?\" He charges that Job's faith is mercenary, that Job only serves God because God has hedged him about and blessed the work of his hands. Take away the blessings, Satan says, put forth Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face. It is the same charge he still brings, insinuating that believers love God only for what they can get out of Him.",
