Job 2:2 In-Context

1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.

2 And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."

3 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause."

4 Then Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.

5 But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face."
