Job 2:1-6

Rotherham(i) 1 And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh––so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh. 2 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein. 3 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause. 4 Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life. 5 In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh,––verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee. 6 And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand,––only, his life, preserve thou!
