Job 2:7-10
New International Version
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.(A) 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.(B)
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?(C) Curse God and die!”(D)
10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[a] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”(E)
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.(F)

Job 2:7-10
The Message
7-8 Satan left God and struck Job with terrible sores. Job was ulcers and scabs from head to foot. They itched and oozed so badly that he took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself, then went and sat on a trash heap, among the ashes.
9 His wife said, “Still holding on to your precious integrity, are you? Curse God and be done with it!”
10 He told her, “You’re talking like an empty-headed fool. We take the good days from God—why not also the bad days?”
Not once through all this did Job sin. He said nothing against God.
