Job 2:2 In-Context

1 One day when the sons of God came to stand in front of the LORD, Satan the Accuser came along with them.

2 The LORD asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From wandering all over the earth."

3 The LORD asked Satan, "Have you thought about my servant Job? No one in the world is like him! He is a man of integrity: He is decent, he fears God, and he stays away from evil. And he still holds on to his principles. You're trying to provoke me into ruining him for no reason."

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

5 But stretch out your hand, and strike his flesh and bones. I bet he'll curse you to your face."
