Job 2:2-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

2. and the Lord asked, “Satan, where have you been?”Satan replied, “I have been going all over the earth.”

3. Then the Lord asked, “What do you think of my servant Job? No one on earth is like him—he is a truly good person, who respects me and refuses to do evil. And he hasn't changed, even though you persuaded me to destroy him for no reason.”

4. Satan answered, “There's no pain like your own. People will do anything to stay alive.

5. Try striking Job's own body with pain, and he will curse you to your face.”

6. “All right!” the Lord replied. “Make Job suffer as much as you want, but just don't kill him.”
