Job 2:1-6

The Second Heavenly Council

Job 2:1-6
1
And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came amongst them, and stood in his sight,
2
That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered, and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it.
3
And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause.
4
And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin; and all that a man hath, he will give for his life:
5
But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt see that he will bless thee to thy face.
6
And the Lord said to Satan: Behold, he is in thy hand, but yet save his life.
