All Job Has Is in Satan’s Hand

^6 (A)Now it was the day that the ^(B)sons of God came to stand before ^[a]Yahweh, and ^[b]Satan also came among them. ⁷ And Yahweh said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “^(C)From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” ⁸ Then Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon ^(D)My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, ^(E)a blameless and upright man, ^[c]fearing God and turning away from evil.” ⁹ And ^(F)Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job ^[d]fear God without cause? ^10 (G)Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? ^(H)You have blessed the work of his hands, and his ^(I)possessions have increased in the land. ^11 (J)But send forth Your hand now and ^(K)touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.” ¹² Then Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand, only do not send forth your hand toward him.” So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.

Satan Strikes Job’s Flesh

2 ^(A)Again it was the day that the sons of God came to stand before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them to stand himself before Yahweh. ² And Yahweh said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” ³ And Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, ^[a]fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still ^(B)holds fast his integrity. So you incited Me against him to swallow him up in vain.” ⁴ Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. ^5 (C)However, send forth Your hand now, and ^(D)touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You in Your face.” ⁶ So Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, only spare his life.”

¹⁰ Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘^(A)You shall worship the ^[a]Lord your God, and ^[b]serve Him only.’”
