Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 2:7

Job 2:7. Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord Or, from the Lord, απο του Κυριου , as the LXX. render it. Compare Acts 5:41, They departed, απο προσωπου του συνεδριου , from the presence of the council that is, from the council. And smote Job with sore biles Ελκει πονηρω , with a foul ulcer, or evil inflammation, say the Seventy; breaking out and spreading itself over all his body. The biles, it seems, were like those inflicted upon the Egyptians, which are expressed by... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 2:8

Job 2:8. And he took a potsherd, &c. His children and servants were all dead, his wife unkind, and none of those whom he had formerly befriended had so much sense of honour and gratitude as to minister to him in his distress, to furnish him with linen clothes, or lend a hand to cleanse or dress his running sores; either because the disease was loathsome and offensive, or because they apprehended it to be infectious. Being therefore deprived of other relief, he laid hold on what was next... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 2:1-13

Job’s loathsome disease (2:1-13)Not accepting defeat, Satan still claimed that Job was concerned only for himself. He would sacrifice his possessions, and even his family, provided he himself avoided suffering. He would sacrifice their skin to save his own (2:1-5). God again accepted Satan’s challenge, this time allowing him to attack Job’s body (6). Satan therefore afflicted Job with the most painful and loathsome disease. The faith of Job’s wife failed, but Job’s faith did not, even though he... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 2:7

SATAN TORTURES JOB'S BODY WITH A VILE DISEASE"So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes. Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 2:7

Job 2:7. So went Satan forth— It has been objected, I. That it does not seem likely that Satan should appear in such good company as the sons of God; nor, II. That God should permit him to afflict Job in this manner, only to satisfy the wicked sycophant that Job was a man of integrity. As to the first objection, we grant that such company is too good for him: but he who can sometimes transform himself into an angel of light, may affect also to appear in company with angels of light, and may... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 2:8

Job 2:8. And he took him a potsherd, &c.— It is plain that the disease of Job was cuticular, says Dr. Mede; and it is as certain that the bodies of the Hebrews were (in those hot countries) very liable to ulcers of the skin; upon which account, learned men think it was, that they were forbidden the eating of swine's flesh; which, as it affords a gross nourishment, and not easily perspirable, is very improper food in such constitutions; as by how much hotter the countries were which they... read more
