Job 2:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his [a]bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
6 Then the Lord said unto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but save [b]his life.
7 ¶ So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore [c]boils, from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

- Job 2:7 This sore was most vehement, wherewith also God plagued the Egyptians, Exod. 9:9, and threateneth to punish the rebellious people, Deut. 28:27, so that this tentation was most grievous: for if Job had measured God’s favor by the vehemency of his disease, he might have thought that God had cast him off.
