Job 2:2 In-Context

1 On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.

2 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”

3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”

4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all 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.”
