But stretch out please hand your and touch bone his and flesh his if not to face your he will bless you.
6 Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Enyo ŋutɔ. Kpɔ ɖa, ele asiwò me, gake mègaka asi eƒe agbe ya ŋu o.”
And he said Yahweh to the adversary there he [is] in hand your surely life his preserve.
7 Ale Satana dzo le Yehowa ŋkume hekplɔ abi vɔ̃ɖi aɖewo ƒu Hiob, tso eƒe afɔgɔme va se ɖe eƒe dzodome.
And he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh and he struck Job with boil[s] bad from [the] sole of foot his (and to *Q(K)*) scalp his.
8 Tete Hiob tsɔ ze kakɛ nɔ ŋuti kum esi wònɔ anyi ɖe afi me.
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it and he [was] sitting in [the] midst the ash[es].

And he said to her as speaks one of the foolish women you are speaking also the good will we accept? from with God and the evil not will we accept? in all this not he sinned Job with lips his.
