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, “From where have you come? ” Satan answered the Lord and said, “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 incited me against him to destroy him without reason. ”

4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.

5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face. ”
