Context of Job 2:3

1Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yhwh, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yhwh. 2And Yhwh said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Yhwh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And Yhwh said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. 4And Satan answered Yhwh, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 5But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
