3. The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
4. Satan answered the Lord, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5. But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6. The Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7. So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8. He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat amongst the ashes.
9. Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
