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.'
6 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, 'Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.'
7 And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
