Then the LORD told Satan, "Very well then, everything he owns is under your control, only you may not extend your hand against him." So Satan left the LORD's presence.

The LORD asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" In response, Satan answered the LORD, "From wandering all over the earth and walking back and forth throughout it."

The LORD asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" In response, Satan told the LORD, "From wandering all over the earth and walking back and forth throughout it."

So Satan left the LORD's presence and struck Job with terrible boils from the sole of his feet to the top of his head.

One day, divine beings presented themselves to the LORD, and Satan accompanied them.

Then the LORD asked Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. The man is blameless as well as upright. He fears God and keeps away from evil."

But in response, Satan asked the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

Some time later, divine beings again presented themselves to the LORD, and Satan accompanied them to present himself to the LORD.

The LORD asked Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. The man is blameless as well as upright. He fears God and keeps away from evil. He remains firm in his integrity, even though you have been urging me to overwhelm him without cause."

Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! The man will give up everything that he owns in exchange for his health.

Then the LORD told Satan, "Very well then, he is under your control. Just preserve his life."
