Where have you come from? "

From going

Then
the
LORD
said to Satan, “
Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no
one
on
earth
like him, a man
who
is
blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns
evil. He still retains
his integrity, even
though
you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause. ”

Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none
like him in

away
from
evil. He still maintains
his integrity, although

“
Skin for skin !”
Satan
replied
. “
A man will give
up
all
he owns
in
exchange
for his life.
Satan
answered
Yahweh,
and
said,
"
Skin for skin. Yes,
all
that
a man has
will he give
for his life.
But stretch
out
Your hand and strike
his flesh
and bones
, and he will surely
curse
You to Your face. ”

forth
your hand now,
and touch
his bone
and his
flesh
, and he will renounce
you to your face. "
“Very
well,”
said the
LORD
to Satan .
“
He is in your hands,
but
you
must
spare his life. ”
Yahweh
said to Satan ,
"Behold,
he is in your hand.
Only
spare his life. "

You speak as a
foolish woman
speaks,”

not receive

tore his robe and threw
dust in
the air
over
his
head

their
heads
toward

for

intense
