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."
