God Sees the Devil

17] God ġeseah ðone dēofol, and se dēofol swā ðēah wæs bedǣled Godes ġesihðe and his wuldres. [18] Eorðe is ġecweden Godes fōtsceamel, and sēo heofen is his ðrymsetl. [19] Nū stōd se sceocca swilċe æt Godes fōtsceamele upon ðǣre eorðan ðā ðā se ælmihtiga hine axode hwanon hē cōme. [20] Hē cwæð þæt hē fērde ġeond þās eorðan for ðan ðe hē færð swā swā Pētrus se apostol cwæð: "Bēoð sȳfre and wacole, for ðan ðe se dēofol ēower wiðerwinna færð onbūtan swā swā grymetende lēo, sēċende hwæne hē ābīte. Wiðstandað þām, strange on ġelēafan."

17] God saw the devil, and the devil was thus hidden from God's sight and his glory. [18] The earth is called God's footstool, and heaven is his throne. [19] Now stood the fiend like at God's footstool upon the earth, when the Almighty asked him whence he came. [20] He said that he had traveled throughout this earth because he roams as Peter the apostle said: "Be sober and watchful, for your adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith."
