New Testament

Job 2:6-10 New International Version (NIV)

6. The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”

7. So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

8. Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.

9. His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”

10. He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
