Job 2:3-9

3The LordH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, “Have you 1consideredH7760H3820H5921 My servantH5650 JobH347? For thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 likeH3644 him on the earthH776, a blamelessH8535 and uprightH3477 manH376 2fearingH3372 GodH430 and turningH5493 awayH5493 from evilH7451. And he stillH5750 3holdsH2388 fastH2388 his integrityH8538, although you incitedH5496 Me against him to 4ruinH1104 him withoutH2600 causeH2600.” 4SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LordH3068 and saidH559, “SkinH5785 for skinH5785! Yes, allH3605 that a manH376 has he will giveH5414 for his lifeH5315. 55HoweverH199, putH7971 forthH7971 Your handH3027 nowH4994, and 6touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320; he will curseH1288 You to Your faceH6440.” 6So the LordH3068 saidH559 to SatanH7854, “BeholdH2009, he is in your 7powerH3027, onlyH389 spareH8104 his lifeH5315.”

7Then SatanH7854 wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 and smoteH5221 JobH347 with 8soreH7451 boilsH7822 from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 to the crownH6936 of his headH6936. 8And he tookH3947 a potsherdH2789 to scrapeH1623 himself while 9he was sittingH3427 amongH8432 the ashesH665.

9Then his wifeH802 saidH559 to him, “Do you stillH5750 holdH2388 fastH2388 your integrityH8538? CurseH1288 GodH430 and dieH4191!”
