Job 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Then the Lord said unto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but save [a]his life.
7 ¶ So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore [b]boils, from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took a [c]potsherd to scrape him, and he sat down among the ashes.

- Job 2:6 Thus Satan can go no further in punishing, than God hath limited him.
- Job 2:7 This sore was most vehement, wherewith also God plagued the Egyptians, Exod. 9:9, and threateneth to punish the rebellious people, Deut. 28:27, so that this tentation was most grievous: for if Job had measured God’s favor by the vehemency of his disease, he might have thought that God had cast him off.
- Job 2:8 As destitute of all other help and means, and wonderfully afflicted with the sorrow of his disease.
