In Context

3 Yahweh said to Satan, |Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.|

4 Satan answered Yahweh, and said, |Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.|

6 Yahweh said to Satan, |Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.|

7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.

8 He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
