3. And Hashem said unto Hasatan, Hast thou considered in your meditation Avdi (My Servant) Iyov, that there is none like him in ha'aretz, ish tam and yashar, yire Elohim, and shunning rah? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou inciteth Me against him, to ruin him for no reason.
4. And Hasatan answered Hashem, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that an ish hath will he give for his nefesh.
5. But stretch forth Thine yad now, and touch his etzem and his basar, and he will curse Thee to Thy face.
6. And Hashem said unto Hasatan, Hinei, he is in thine yad; but spare his nefesh.
7. So went Hasatan out from the presence of Hashem, and afflicted Iyov with shekhin rah (foul boils) from the sole of his regel unto the top of his head.
8. And he took him a cheres (potsherd, piece of broken pottery) to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9. Then said his isha unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse Elohim, and die.
