The story of Job
This is where Satan said that the only reason Job worships Gods is because of his wealth, so God alowed Satan to do as he pleases to Job (apart from harming him direcetlay) so Satan killed Job's family and took away all of his wealth and still Job worships him so this could back up the point that it is there to test our faith in God.
Satan then made Job ill, but never killed him. People Job knew they critised him and didn't help him.
