Satan's Second Test of Job
1 One day the sons of God came again to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before the Lord.
2
The Lord asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" "From roaming through the earth," Satan answered Him, "and walking around on it."
3
Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him, to destroy him without just cause."
4
"Skin for skin!" Satan answered the Lord. "A man will give up everything he owns in exchange for his life.
5
But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face."
6
"Very well," the Lord told Satan, "he is in your power; only spare his life."
7
So Satan left the Lord's presence and infected Job with incurable boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
8
Then Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself while he sat among the ashes.
9
His wife said to him, "Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!"
10
"You speak as a foolish woman speaks," he told her. "Should we accept only good from God and not adversity?" Throughout all this Job did not sin in what he said.
