Job 2:4-6
Contemporary English Version
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.”
6 “All right!” the Lord replied. “Make Job suffer as much as you want, but just don't kill him.”
