2 And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence comest thou? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.

3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed my servant Job, that there is none of upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas thou has told to destroy his substance without cause?

4 And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.

5 Nay, but put forth thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless thee to face.
