The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:6-12
Counsels in heaven concerning ,man's life on earth. I. EVERY MAN 'S LIFE IS AN OBJECT OF INTEREST IN HEAVEN . This is a sublime thought, powerfully suggested by the present passage, and full of comfort for every man who trusts in the goodness of God. "Every man's life a plan of God's" (see the powerful sermon of Dr. Bushnell on this subject). Even of men who do not consciously know God or own his providence, this is true. Their career is controlled by a mysterious... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:6-19
The trial of the righteous man. The central subject of this book is the trial of the righteous man. Job is acknowledged of God to be "a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil." Yet he is tried, and tried sorely, and by permission of God. The difficulty to be solved by the history of Job is—How can it come to pass that the righteous suffer? To what end is this permitted? The trial of Job is divided into two parts—the first is briefly recounted, it contains the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:7
And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? God condescends to address the evil spirit, and asks him questions—not that anything could be added to his own knowledge, but that the angels, who were present ( Job 1:6 ), might hear and have their attention called to the doings of Satan, which would need to be watched by them, and sometimes to be restrained or prevented. Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:7
Satan's wanderings. Here Satan appears in a very prominent and privileged position. He is the accuser rather than the tempter. At all events, he has a range of influence which suggests most terrible possibilities. We must remember that we are perhaps reading a symbolical drama, and must not take every line of it with dry literal exactness, as necessarily descriptive of actual historical events. Nevertheless, it suggests truths of great and lasting importance. I. SATAN IS AT LARGE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:8
And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered? literally. Hast thou set thine heart on? equivalent to "Hast thou given thine attention to?" (comp. Isaiah 41:22 ; Haggai 1:5 , Haggai 1:7 ). My servant Job ; i.e. "my true servant, faithful in all that he does" (comp. Hebrews 3:5 ). It is a high honour to any man for God to acknowledge him as his servant (see Joshua 1:2 ; 1 Kings 11:13 , etc.). That there is none like him in the earth ; rather, for there is none like... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:8
The righteous man. Righteousness as descriptive of human character illustrated in Job. A few words only used. The Divine description. Highest testimony. Generally "my servant,"—the most honourable distinction. There is no higher calling in life than to serve God. But Job stands in special distinction—he is unequalled amongst men. His is the typical example of righteousness till a Greater than he appears. "There is none like him in the earth." A truly honourable position to be the first man... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 1:11
But put forth thine hand - Shoot the dart of poverty and affliction against him. And he will curse thee to thy face - יברכך פניך על לא אם im lo al paneycha yebarechecca , "If he will not bless thee to thy appearances." He will bless thee only in proportion to the temporal good thou bestowest upon him; to the providential and gracious appearances or displays of thy power in his behalf. If thou wilt be gracious, he will be pious. The exact maxim of a great statesman, Sir Robert... read more
