Job 2:1-5

1Again there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before YhwhH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them to presentH3320 himself before YhwhH3068.

2And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, From whenceH335 comestH935 thou? And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 YhwhH3068, and saidH559, From going to and froH7751 in the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 in it.

3And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thouH7760 consideredH3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? and still he holdeth fastH2388 his integrityH8538, although thou movedstH5496 me against him, to destroyH1104 him without causeH2600.1

4And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 YhwhH3068, and saidH559, SkinH5785 for skinH5785, yea, all that a manH376 hath will he giveH5414 for his lifeH5315.

5ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, and he will curseH1288 thee to thy faceH6440.
