2And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
3And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.
4And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.
5But now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing you to your face.
6And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.
7And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.
8And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.
