3 And the Lord said to Satan, "Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose."
4 Answering him, Satan said, "Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face."
6 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life."
7 And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
8 So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
9 But his wife said to him, "Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die."
