Job 2:1-7

11Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. 2The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 3The Lord said to Satan, “Have you 2considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man 3fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still 4holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to 5ruin him without cause.” 4Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 56However, put forth Your hand now, and 7touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face.” 6So the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your 8power, only spare his life.”

7Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with 9sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
