There came another day when the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also was among them. The Lord said to Satan, "Where have you been." So Satan answered the Lord and said, "I was going to different places on the earth and moving around.
"Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you taken deep thought of my servant Job, there is none to be compared to him in the whole world, for he is a righteous man who is above reproach in everything he does. He is marked by a reverent awe of God, and power to continually turn away from evil." He even continues to live according to his morals, even though you have persuaded me to go against him, to tear him apart for no reason.
Satan responded to the LORD and said, "body for body! Of course, everything a man has he will give up, if he can hold onto his breath of life. But reach out now and brake his bones, and slice into his muscle, and he will tell you he hates you right to your face.
The Lord said to Satan, "See, he is in your care, just don't take his life."
