1. And then one day the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh.
2. So Yahweh asked Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
3. So Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? Indeed, there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness even though you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing.”
4. Then Satan answered him and said, “Skin for skin! All that that man has he will give for his life.
5. But stretch out your hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and see whether he will curse you to your face.”
