Compare all
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, aa blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he bholds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, cto destroy him without cause.”  
4 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 aBut stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bbone and his flesh, and he will surely1 curse You to Your face!”  
6 aAnd the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”  
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils afrom the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.  
8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself awhile he sat in the midst of the ashes.
