Job 2:1-6

The Second Heavenly Council

Job 2:1-6
1
Another day came when the sons of God came to serve ADONAI, and among them came the Adversary to serve ADONAI.

The Adversary answered ADONAI, "Skin for skin! A person will give up everything he has to save his life.

6
ADONAI said to the Adversary, "Here! He is in your hands, except that you are to spare his life."
