Jó 1:7

And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? God condescends to address the evil spirit, and asks him questions—not that anything could be added to his own knowledge, but that the angels, who were present ( Job 1:6 ), might hear and have their attention called to the doings of Satan, which would need to be watched by them, and sometimes to be restrained or prevented. Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Satan, therefore, is not himself, like the bulk of his evil angels, "reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the last day" ( Jude 1:6 ). He searches the whole earth continually, never passing, never resting, but "going about , " as St. Peter says ( 1 Peter 5:8 ), "like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour," waiting till the coming of the "thousand years," when an angel will "bind him with a great chain, and cast him into the bottom-less pit" ( Revelation 20:1 , Revelation 20:2 ). It will be a happy day for the earth when that time comes.
