3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him. He is a good, faithful man. He respects God and refuses to do evil. He is still faithful, even though you asked me to let you destroy, without reason, everything he has.”
4 Satan answered, “Skin for skin! A man will give everything he has to protect himself.
5 I swear, if you attack his flesh and bones, he will curse you to your face!”
6 So the Lord said to Satan, “All right, Job is in your hands, but you are not allowed to kill him.”
7 So Satan left the meeting with the Lord and gave Job painful sores all over his body, from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.
8 Job sat on the pile of ashes where he was mourning and used a piece of broken pottery to scrape his sores.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your faith? Why don’t you just curse God and die!”
