Job 2:1-6 ▼

1 Again it was the day that the sons of God came to stand before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them to stand himself before Yahweh.

2 And Yahweh said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.”

3 And Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity. So you incited Me against him to swallow him up in vain.”

4 Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

5 However, send forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You in Your face.”

6 So Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, only spare his life.”
