2And the LORD said to Satan,“Where do you come from?” Satan answered the LORD,“From roving about on the earth, and from walking back and forth across it.”
3Then the LORD said to Satan,“Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, so that you stirred me up to destroy him without reason.”
4But Satan answered the LORD,“Skin for skin! Indeed, a man will give up all that he has to save his life!
5But extend your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, and he will no doubt curse you to your face!”
6So the LORD said to Satan,“All right, he is in your power; only preserve his life.”

13Job’s Integrity in Adversity Now the day came when Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14and a messenger came to Job, saying,“The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
4Now his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one in turn, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5When the days of their feasting were finished, Job would send for them and sanctify them; he would get up early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job thought,“Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s customary practice.

And my servant Job will intercede for you, and I will respect him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.”
