Job 2:3-9
3Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, so that you stirred me up to destroy him without reason.”
4But Satan answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! Indeed, a man will give up all that he has to save his life!
5But extend your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, and he will no doubt curse you to your face!”
6So the Lord said to Satan, “All right, he is in your power; only preserve his life.”
7So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job with a malignant ulcer from the sole of his feet to the top of his head.
8Job took a shard of broken pottery to scrape himself with while he was sitting among the ashes.
9Then his wife said to him, “Are you still holding firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die!”
