Job 2:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ The Lord said to the Adversary, “Very well, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

⁷ Therefore, the Adversary went out from the presence of the Lord, and he afflicted Job with severe sores from the sole of his foot to the top of his head. ⁸ So he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he was sitting among the ashes.
