God still allows Satan much freedom of movement here on earth (1 Peter 5:8). Satan can go anywhere he likes on earth. As if to hide his evil intentions, he answers the Lord’s question simply by saying that he has roamed through the earth, going back and forth in it.
7 L'Eternel dit à Satan: D'où viens-tu? Et Satan répondit à l'Eternel: De parcourir la terre et de m'y promener.
