What does Job chapter 2 verse 4 mean?

Answer 1

A:In Job chapter 1, God had challenged Satan to attempt to make Job sin by cursing God, saying that Satan could do any evil he wished against Job, as long as he did not harm his person. When Satan returned, he had lost the bet because Job had refused to curse God no matter what was done to him.

In Chapter 2 verses 4 and 5, Satan says that any man would do whatever he must to save his own life, and if you harm Job's person, he would surely curse God. God replied by giving Satan a new challenge - he could harm Job's person as long as he allows Job to live.
