6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and ^jSatan¹ also came among them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, ^k“From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” 8 And the Lord said to Satan, ^l“Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” 9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason?

12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” ^qSo Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

1 ^zAgain there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” 3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, ^aa blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his ^bintegrity, although you ^cincited me against him to destroy him ^dwithout reason.” 4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! ^eAll that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But ^fstretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”

7 ^gSo Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
