Job 1:7

SCRIPTURE

"And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." — Job 1:7 (ASV)

From going to and fro ... —Compare our Lord’s words in Matthew 13:25: and went his way. St. Peter evidently had this passage in mind (1 Peter 5:8, walketh about).
