THE SECOND CHALLENGE OF SATAN
And so be it, the day the sons of Elohim come to station themselves by Yah Veh; and Satan also comes among them to station himself by Yah Veh. 2 And Yah Veh says to Satan, Whence come you? And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, From flitting to and fro in the earth and from walking forth and back in it. 3 And Yah Veh says to Satan, Have you set your heart on my servant Iyob - that there is no one like him in the earth; an integrious and straight man; one who awes Elohim and turns aside from evil? And still he upholds his integrity although you goad me to swallow him gratuitously. 4 And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Skin for skin; yes, all a man has he gives for his soul; 5 but spread your hand, I beseech and touch his bone and his flesh, whether he blesses you to your face. 6 And Yah Veh says to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but guard his soul. 7
THE SECOND TEST OF IYOB
And Satan goes from the face of Yah Veh and smites Iyob with evil ulcers from the sole of his foot to his scalp. 8 And he takes a potsherd to scrape himself; and he settles among the ashes. 9 And his woman says to him, You still uphold your integrity! Bless Elohim and die. 10 And he says to her, You word as one of the foolish word. yes, take we good at the hand of Elohim - and not take evil? - in all this Iyob sinned not with his lips. 11
THE THREE FRIENDS OF IYOB
And the three friends of Iyob hear of all this evil coming upon him, and each man comes from his own place; Eli Phaz the Temaniy and Bildad the Shuachiy and Sophar the Naamahiy; for they come to congregate together to wag with him and to sigh with him. 12 And they lift their eyes afar off and recognize him not, and they lift their voice and weep; and each man rips his mantle and sprinkles dust on his head toward the heavens: 13 and they settle with him on the ground seven days and seven nights - and no one words a word to him; for they see the pain is mighty great.
