Job 2:2-6

Satan Attacks Job's Health

2 And the Lord said to Satan, "From where have you come?" Satan answered the Lord and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it." 3 And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still n holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him o without reason." 4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But p stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will q curse you to your face." 6 And the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life."
