Job 2:1-8

LEB(i) 1 And then* one day the sons of God* came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan* also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh. 2 So* Yahweh asked* Satan,* "From where have you come?"
And Satan* answered Yahweh and said, "From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it." 3 So* Yahweh asked* Satan,* "Have you considered* my servant Job? Indeed,* there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness even though* you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing." 4 Then* Satan* answered him and said, "Skin for skin! All that that* man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out* your hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and see whether* he will curse* you to your face."* 6 So* Yahweh said to Satan,* "All right,* he is in your power.* Only spare his life." 7 So* Satan* went out from Yahweh's presence,* and he inflicted Job with loathsome skin sores from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head. 8 So* he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and he sat in the midst of the ashes.
