Job 13:13-15
At a point when his friends were ready to launch new attacks, Job interjected that he would have faith even if God killed him: “13 ‘Be silent before me so that I may speak; then let come upon me what may. 14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hands? Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” (Job 13:13). Although Job was unaware of the challenge that Satan made against him, he proved that Satan was wrong to allege to God that his faith was based solely upon the many blessings of wealth, family, and health that God had given him: “9 Then Satan answered the Lord, ‘Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not made a fence around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But reach out with Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will certainly curse You to Your face.”’ (Job 1:9-11). “4 Satan answered the Lord and said, ‘Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has, he will give for his life. 5 However, reach out with Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face!”’ (Job 2:4-5).
