Job 2:3-9

3The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered and reflected on My servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God [with reverence] and abstains from and turns away from evil [because he honors God]. And still he maintains and holds tightly to his integrity, although you incited Me against him to destroy him without cause.”

4Satan answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! Yes, a man will give all he has for his life.

5But put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh [and severely afflict him]; and he will curse You to Your face.”

6So the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, only spare his life.”

7So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome boils and agonizingly painful sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

8And Job took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself, and he sat [down] among the ashes (rubbish heaps).

9Then his wife said to him, “Do you still cling to your integrity [and your faith and trust in God, without blaming Him]? Curse God and die!”
