So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. (D)But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his (E)bone and his flesh, and he will surely [b]curse You to Your face!”

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