And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your hand; only do not stretch forth your hand upon him. So Satan went out from the presence of Jehovah.

But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face!

Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people, and He has stretched out His hand against them, and has stricken them; and the hills trembled, and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

Have pity on me! Have pity on me, O you my friends! For the hand of God has struck me!

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife shall die the death.

saying, Do not touch My anointed, and do My prophets no harm.

For thus says Jehovah of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who plundered you; for he who touches you touches the pupil of His eye.

So it was, when the days of feasting had made the rounds, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Thus Job did over time.

and he said: Naked I have come from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. Jehovah has given, and Jehovah has taken away; blessed is the name of Jehovah.

Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!

And they shall pass through it, hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, that they shall be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

Your words have been strong against Me, says Jehovah. Yet you say, What have we spoken against you?

You have said, It is vain to serve God. And, What profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked as mourners before Jehovah of Hosts?

And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.

And they blasphemed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. And men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because the plague is exceedingly great.
