Job 2:4-6

The Voice

The Accuser: ⁴ Well, as they say, “Skin for skin!” It is easy to be so pious in the face of such health. Surely a man will give what he has for the sake of his own life, ⁵ so now extend Your hand! Afflict him, both bone and body, and he will curse You, right to Your face.

Eternal One: ⁶ Well then, this is how it will be: he is now in your hand. One thing, though: you will not take his life. Job must not be killed.
