Job 2:1-7

New Life Version

Satan Tests Job the Second Time

2 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to show themselves before the Lord. And Satan came with them also to show himself before the Lord. ² The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From traveling around the earth and walking around on it.” ³ The Lord said to Satan, “Have you thought about My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth. He is without blame, a man who is right and good. He fears God and turns away from sin. He still holds to his good ways, even when I allowed you to go against him, and to destroy him for no reason.” ⁴ Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. ⁵ Put out Your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face.” ⁶ So the Lord said to Satan, “See, he is in your power. Only do not kill him.”

⁷ Then Satan went out from the Lord. And he made very bad sores come on Job from the bottom of his foot to the top of his head.
