Job 2:6 in Context — Job 2

4 Et Satan répondit à l’Éternel: Peau pour peau! Tout ce que possède un homme, il le donne pour sa vie.

5 Mais étends ta main, touche à ses os et à sa chair, et je suis sûr qu’il te maudit en face.

6 L’Éternel dit à Satan: Voici, je te le livre: seulement, épargne sa vie.

7 Et Satan se retira de devant la face de l’Éternel. Puis il frappa Job d’un ulcère malin, depuis la plante du pied jusqu’au sommet de la tête.

8 Et Job prit un tesson pour se gratter et s’assit sur la cendre.
