“Skin for skin!” Satan answered the Lord. “A man will give up everything he owns in exchange for his life.

Why is light given to one burdened with grief,
and life to those whose existence is bitter,

and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?”

He gives food in abundance.

Have you watched the deer in labor?

Can you count the months they are pregnant
so you can know the time they give birth?

Do you adorn his neck with a mane?

Let him who argues with God give an answer.
