1 But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
2 So the Lord said to Satan, 'Where do you come from?' Answering, he said, 'I have circled the land, and walked around in it.'
3 And the Lord said to Satan, 'Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.'
4 Answering him, Satan said, 'Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.'
