1 IT befell on a day, that the children of God presented themselves before the Lord▪ among whom came Satan also to present himself to the Lord. 2 And the Lord said too Satan, from whence comest thou? Satan answered the Lord and said, from going about and from walking upon the earth. 3 And the Lord said too Satan, haste thou taken heed of my servant Job, who hath not his match upon earth, a sound and upright man, fearing God and withdrawing himself from evil, and which keepeth still his soundness? Hast not thou sought me to the end I should have destroyed him without cause? 4 And Satan answered the Lord, A man vvill give skin for skin, and all that he hath, to save his life. 5 But now lay thy hand upon him, and punish him in his flesh, and thou shalt see if he vvill not curse thee to thy face. 6 And the Lord said to Satan: Behold, he is in thy hand: But spare his soul.
