Describe the exchange between God and Satan laid out in Job 1:6–8.

There came a day when the sons of God, a phrase that always refers to angels, came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came among them, for though fallen he still has access to Heaven. God asked him where he had come from, and Satan answered that he had been roaming about on the earth, walking back and forth on it, looking for a believer to zero in on. Then God Himself raised the subject: "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." In pointing out Job, God was naming the most advanced believer alive, the very man who was such a bone in Satan's throat.
