The Scriptures 1998

Job 2:1-6 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. Again the day came to be that the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before יהוה, and Satan also came among them to present himself before יהוה.

2. And יהוה said to Satan, “From where do you come?” And Satan answered יהוה and said, “From diligently searching in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

3. And יהוה said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Iyoḇ, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and straight man, one who fears Elohim and turns aside from evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”

4. And Satan answered יהוה and said, “Skin for skin, and all that a man has he would give for his life!

5. “But stretch out Your hand, please, and strike his bone and his flesh – if he would not curse You to Your face!”

6. And יהוה said to Satan, “See, he is in your hand, only spare his life.”
