Job 2:2 In-Context

1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Hasatan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

2 The LORD said to Hasatan, "Where have you come from?" Hasatan answered the LORD, and said, "From going back and forth in the eretz, and from walking up and down in it."

3 The LORD said to Hasatan, "Have you considered my servant Iyov? For there is none like him in the eretz, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

4 Hasatan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life.

5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."
