Job 2:2 In-Context

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."
