Job 2:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Then the Lord said to Satan, ‘You have seen Job, who is my servant. What do you think about him? There is no one on earth who is like him. He is a good and honest man. He is afraid to make me angry. He refuses to do evil things. Because of what you said, I allowed you to attack him. But he did not deserve that. He has continued to do what is right.’

⁴ Satan answered the Lord, ‘A man will always take care of his own body. He would do anything to save his own life. ⁵ So now cause Job to have great pain in his own body. Then he will certainly curse you very strongly.’
