Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Doth Job fear God for nought?Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house,
and about all that he hath on every side?
thou hast blessed the work of his hands,
and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth Thine hand now, and touch all that he hath,
and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan,
Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;
only upon himself put not forth thine hand.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
But put forth Thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh,
and he will curse Thee to Thy face.

and he will curse Thee to Thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan,
Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
