Job 2:4 in Context — Job 2

2 Então o SENHOR disse a Satanás: De onde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, e dizendo: De rodear a terra, e de passear por ela.

3 E o SENHOR disse a Satanás: Tendes visto meu servo Jó? Pois ninguém há semelhante a ele na terra, homem íntegro e correto, temente a Deus e que se afasta do mal; e que ainda mantém sua integridade, mesmo depois de teres me incitado contra ele, para o arruinar sem causa.

4 Então Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: Pele por pele, e tudo quanto o homem tem, dará por sua vida.

5 Mas estende agora tua mão, e toca em seus ossos e sua carne, e [verás] se ele não te amaldiçoa em tua face.

6 E o SENHOR disse a Satanás: Eis que ele está em tua mão; mas preserva sua vida.
