Job 2:3-5

Good News Translation

³ “Did you notice my servant Job?” the Lord asked. “There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil. You persuaded me to let you attack him for no reason at all, but Job is still as faithful as ever.”

⁴ Satan replied, “A person will give up everything in order to stay alive. ⁵ But now suppose you hurt his body—he will curse you to your face!”
