Current members know what this is about, but I'll explain for potential newcomers:
One player posts a short passage of literature or a quote, a saying, a song, etc., with some of the words blanked. Other players must fill in the blanks by either recalling or guessing the words (no one can check that you aren't cheating, but obviously there's no point to the game if you just google the passage). Hints may be provided at any time at the first player's discretion. When all the blanks have been filled in, the player who got the most words posts a new passage. If they lack time or inspiration, they can declare open floor (if there's a second-best player, the turn should go preferentially to them).

Quadam autem die cum venissent angeli/servi Dei ut adsisterent coram Domino, adfuit inter eos etiam Diabolus/Satanas. Cui dixit Dominus, "Unde venis?" Qui respondens ait, "Circuivi terram et aspexi eam." Dixitque Dominus ad eum, "Numquid considerasti servum meum Job, quod non sit ei similis in terra, homo simplex et rectus et Deum timens ac recedens a malo?" Cui respondens Diabolus/Satanas ait, "Numquid frustra me temptare conaris? Nonne tu vallasti eum ac domum eius universamque substantiam per circuitum, operibus manuum eius _______ et possessio illius crevit in terra? Sed abstine paululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quae possidet, nisi in facie tua benedixerit tibi." Dixit ergo Dominus ad Diabolum/Satanam, "Ecce universa quae habet in _______ _______ sunt; tantum in eum ne extendas manum tuam." Egressusque est absconditque a facie Domini.
Not quite sure about the declensions of the names, or about the Latin name of Job at all, for that matter. Also, I don't have a very detailed recollection of that passage, and my Latin is what it is.

Numquid frustra me temptare conaris? Also, this look terrible. |

Four guesses appear elsewhere, whether in the same or in a different form.

Quadam autem die cum venissent ministri Dei ut adsisterent coram Domino, adfuit inter eos etiam Satan. Cui dixit Dominus, "Unde venis?" Qui respondens ait, "Circuivi terram et conspici/dilexi (I wonder if the latter would make sense in the perfect; I'd like it to mean "I took a liking for it")eam." Dixitque Dominus ad eum, "Numquid considerasti servum meum Iob, quod non sit ei similis in terra, homo simplex et rectus et timens Deum ac recedens a malo?" Cui respondens Satan ait, "Numquid frustra servum tuum _______? Nonne tu vallasti eum ac domum eius universamque substantiam per circuitum, operibus manuum eius _______ et possessio illius crevit in terra? Sed appropinqua (my previous guess seem to be in contradiction with the following clause... On the other hand, "appropinqua" sounds bad) paululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quae possidet, nisi in facie tua benedixerit tibi." Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan, "Ecce universa quae habet in _______ _______ sunt; tantum in eum ne extendas manum tuam." Egressusque est latuit/exit a facie Domini.

(I wonder if the latter would make sense in the perfect; I'd like it to mean "I took a liking for it") It would make sense but it's quite far off. The right word is much closer to circuivi. You mean conspexi. Yes, it makes no sense since appropinquare means to come close/almost reach a place, not to move something close to something else. Wrong part of speech. |

Believe it or not, conspexi is what I was thinking about, but my fingers betrayed me.

I may not be picturing the scene correctly.

You're on the right track. What you had in mind with appropinqua was pretty close.

Quae habet in manibus/potentia tuis/tua/tuo
No idea if "in potentia tua" works but it sounds kinda good.

Glad to see I remain numerically challenged in just about every language equally.
