Job 2:5 in Context — Job 2

3 Y Jehová dijo á Satán: ¿No has considerado á mi siervo Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón perfecto y recto, temeroso de Dios y apartado de mal, y que aun retiene su perfección, habiéndome tú incitado contra él, para que lo arruinara sin causa?

4 Y respondiendo Satán dijo á Jehová: Piel por piel, todo lo que el hombre tiene dará por su vida.

5 Mas extiende ahora tu mano, y toca á su hueso y á su carne, [y verás] si no te blasfema en tu rostro.

6 Y Jehová dijo á Satán: He aquí, él está en tu mano; mas guarda su vida.

7 Y salió Satán de delante de Jehová, é hirió á Job de una maligna sarna desde la planta de su pie hasta la mollera de su cabeza.
