2 Adonai said to him, “Where are you coming from?” The satan answered Adonai, “From roaming the earth and from walking on it.”
3 Then Adonai said to the satan, “Have you noticed My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and spurns evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, though you incited Me against him to ruin him without any reason.”
4 The satan replied to Adonai saying, “Skin for skin! A man will give up all he has for his own life.
5 But now, stretch out Your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, and he will certainly curse You to Your face!”
6 Adonai said to the satan, “Very well, he is in your hand—only spare his life!”
7 So the satan departed from the presence of Adonai, and afflicted Job with painful boils, from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8 He took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself while he was sitting among the ashes.
