Describe the exchange between God and Satan in Job 2:1–
Once again the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came among them, though perhaps with less swagger after Job's response. Again God asked where he had been, and again Satan said he had been roaming the earth. Then God asked the question the enemy did not want to hear: "Have you considered My servant Job? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to ruin him without cause." That phrase "without cause" tells us there was no sin in Job's suffering; he was not under discipline. Satan shot back, "Skin for skin! Put forth Your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face," and God answered, "He is in your power, only spare his life."
