Job 2:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 2:5

3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, ^aa blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he ^bholds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, ^cto destroy him without cause.”

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

5 ^aBut stretch out Your hand now, and touch his ^bbone and his flesh, and he will surely¹ curse You to Your face!”

6 ^aAnd the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils ^afrom the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
