約伯記 1:11-12 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:12

And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power ; literally, in thy hand, as in the margin. God withdraws his protection from Job's possessions; he does not himself take them away, as Satan had suggested (verse 11); but he allows Satan, who can do nothing without his allowance, to deal with them as he pleases. As God dispenses blessings through the angelic host ( Psalms 91:11 , Psalms 91:12 ; Hebrews 1:14 ), so he, sometimes at any rate, allows spirits of evil... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:12

In Satan's power. I. GOD PERMITS TEMPORAL ADVERSITY . 1 . It cannot come without his permission . Satan roams over the earth, longing for mischief; yet he cannot do any harm till he obtains leave from the court of heaven. It is some consolation in adversity to know that this has not fallen without God's observing it, nor even in spite of his will. That which he distinctly sanctions cannot be really bad. Therefore adversity is not the evil it appears to be. 2 . God does not... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 1:11

But put forth thine hand now - That is, for the purpose of injuring him, and taking away his property.And touch all that he hath - Dr. Good renders this, “and smite.” The Vulgate and the Septuagint, “touch.” The Hebrew word used here נגע nâga‛ means properly to “touch;” then to touch anyone with violence Genesis 26:11; Joshua 9:19, and then to smite, to injure, to strike; see Genesis 32:26, 33; 1 Samuel 6:9; Job 19:21; compare the notes at Isaiah 53:4. Here it means evidently to smite or... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 1:12

All that he hath is in thy power - Margin, as in Hebrew “hand.” That is, all this is now committed to thee, for it is manifest that hitherto Satan had no power to injure even his property. He complained that God had made a hedge around all that Job possessed. Now it was all entrusted to him in order that he might make full trim of the faith of Job. The grant extended to his sons and daughters as well as to his property.Only upon himself put not forth thine hand - Job himself was not to be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 1:11

Job 1:11. But put forth thy hand now In a way of justice and severity, as the phrase of putting or stretching forth God’s hand is used, Isaiah 5:25, and Ezekiel 25:7; Ezekiel 25:13; Ezekiel 25:16: and touch all that he hath That is, afflict or destroy his children and substance; and he will curse thee to thy face He who is now so forward to serve and bless thee, will then openly and boldly blaspheme thy name, and reproach thy providence as unjust and unmerciful to him. Or, as Schultens... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 1:12

Job 1:12. The Lord said, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power I give thee full power to do with his property, his servants, his children, and his wife, whatsoever thy craft or malice shall prompt thee to do; only upon himself put not forth thy hand Meddle not with his own person, with his body or soul. It seems strange that God should give Satan such a permission as this. But he did it for his own glory, for the honour of Job, for the explanation of providence, and the encouragement... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 1:1-22

1:1-2:13 SATAN TESTS JOBFrom prosperity to ruin (1:1-22)A popular belief in ancient times was that prosperity and well-being were proofs of godliness, but poverty and suffering were proofs of ungodliness. They were signs that God was either rewarding or punishing a person, according to whether that person’s life was good or bad. The book of Job contradicts this belief. Yet the prosperous and contented Job was indeed a godly person who was blameless in all that he did. He was concerned also for... read more
