^6 (A)And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

⁷ So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils ^(B)from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. ⁸ And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself ^(C)while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

⁹ Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? ^[a]Curse God and die!”

¹⁰ But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. ^(D)Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” ^(E)In all this Job did not ^(F)sin with his lips.

^10 (A)And the Lord ^[a]restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job ^(B)twice as much as he had before.

¹² Now the Lord blessed ^(A)the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had ^(B)fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
