Job 2:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ The Lord said to Satan [1:6], “All right, then. Job is in your ·power [^Lhand], but you ·may not take [^Lmust preserve] his life.”

⁷ So Satan [1:6] left the Lord’s presence. He put ·painful sores [horrible boils] on Job’s body, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. ⁸ Job took a ·piece of broken [shard of] pottery to scrape himself, and he sat in ashes in misery.
