Job 2:4

4“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life.

4Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has, he will give for his life.

4Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

4Satan answered the Lord, “2:4 This probably refers to a trade of one animal skin for another, but even so its application here is unclear. One possibility is that according to Satan, Job would be willing to give up his wife (his remaining loved one) to save his own life, thus surrendering his integrity (v 3). Another is that Satan is hypothetically offering to give up his own life if Job is actually willing to die for his integrity. In any case, this is a bluff on Satan’s part, probably to make what he really wants (v 5) appear less drastic.Skin for skin! Yes, a man will give all he has for his life.

4“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.

4Satan replied, “A man will give everything he has to save himself. So Job is willing to give up the lives of his family to save his own life.
