Job 2:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 So[a] Yahweh asked[b] Satan,[c] “Have you considered[d] my servant Job? Indeed,[e] there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness even though[f] you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing.”
4 Then[g] Satan[h] answered him and said, “Skin for skin! All that that[i] man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out[j] your hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and see whether[k] he will curse[l] you to your face.”[m]
