Job 2:3-9
3Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 SatanH7854, “Have you consideredH7760H3820H413 My servantH5650 JobH347? ForH3588 there is no oneH369 on earthH776 like himH3644, a manH376 who is blamelessH8535 and uprightH3477, who fearsH3373 GodH430 and shunsH5493 evilH7451. He stillH5750 retainsH2388 his integrityH8538, even though you incited MeH5496 against him to ruin himH1104 without causeH2600.”
4“SkinH5785 forH1157 skinH5785!” SatanH7854 repliedH6030H559. “A manH376 will give upH5414 allH3605 he ownsH834 in exchange forH1157 his lifeH5315. 5ButH199 stretch outH7971H4994 Your handH3027 and strikeH5060 his fleshH1320 and bonesH6106H413, and he will surelyH518H3808 curse YouH1288 toH413 Your faceH6440.”
6“Very wellH2005,” saidH559 the LORDH3068H413 to SatanH7854. “He is in your handsH3027, butH389 you must spareH8104 his lifeH5315.”
7So SatanH7854H854 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 and infectedH5221 JobH347 with terribleH7451 boilsH7822 from the solesH3709 of his feetH7272 toH5704 the crown of his headH6936. 8And Job tookH3947 a piece of broken potteryH2789 to scrapeH1623 himself as heH1931 satH3427 amongH8432 the ashesH665.
9Then Job’s wifeH802 saidH559 to him, “Do you stillH5750 retainH2388 your integrityH8538? CurseH12881 GodH430 and dieH4191!”
