Job 2:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 Then the Lord asked, “What do you think of my servant Job? No one on earth is like him—he is a truly good person, who respects me and refuses to do evil. And he hasn't changed, even though you persuaded me to destroy him for no reason.”
4 Satan answered, “There's no pain like your own.[a] People will do anything to stay alive. 5 Try striking Job's own body with pain, and he will curse you to your face.”

- 2.4 There's no pain like your own: The Hebrew text has “Skin for skin,” which was probably a popular saying.
