⁶ The Lord said to Satan, “All right, then. Job is in your power. But you must let him live.”

⁷ So Satan left the Lord’s presence. And he put painful sores all over Job’s body. They went from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. ⁸ Then Job took a piece of broken pottery. And he used it to scrape himself. He sat in ashes to show how upset he was.
