約伯記 1:11-12 RCUVTS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 1:1-12

Satan Aims at a High Mark Job 1:1-12 Job is introduced as a man of large possessions, highly honored by all who knew him, and of unimpeachable integrity toward God. His piety was specially evinced in the anxiety he experienced for his children, lest any of them should renounce or say farewell to God. What an example this is for parents! We should pray for each child by name, and, like Job, we should do so continually. Satan is well called the Adversary, r.v., margin, because he opposes God... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 1:1-22

In magnificence of argument and beauty of style this Book is one of the grandest in the divine Library. The story of Job is presented in dramatic form. It opens with a picture of Job. He is seen in three respects: first, as to character. The opening verses declare him to be "perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil." The language is simple, and suggests that high integrity which never fails to command respect. In the second place, he is seen in the midst of his home... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 1:6-12

Job 1:6-2 Kings : . The disinterestedness of Job’ s piety is brought into question by the Satan in the council of heaven. We are now to see how misfortune may come absolutely unprovoked by sin. The sons of God, who come to present themselves before Yahweh, are the angels. They are referred to in Job 38:7 as witnesses of the creation. In Psalms 29:1 (see RVm) they appear as ministers of God’ s heavenly temple. Here they form the court and council of Yahweh. For a similar scene in heaven, cf.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 1:12

Job 1:12 . Yahweh gives permission to try Job, conceding the Satan’ s right to have the matter cleared up, though Himself knowing that the Adversary is wrong. The Satan having obtained this leave, loses no time before he acts upon it. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 1:11

Put forth thine hand, to wit, in way of justice and severity, as that phrase is used, Isaiah 5:25 Ezekiel 25:7,Ezekiel 25:13,Ezekiel 25:16. Touch, i.e. afflict or destroy, as this word is used, Genesis 26:11; Ruth 2:9; Psalms 105:15; Zechariah 2:8. 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. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 1:12

All that he hath is in thy power; I give thee full power and liberty to deal with his wife, children, servants, and all his estate, whatsoever thy wit or malice shall prompt thee to do. Upon himself; his person, body or soul. From the presence of the Lord, i.e. from that place where God was represented as specially present, being forward and greedy to do the mischief which he had permission to do. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 1:6-12

NotesJob 1:11. “And he will curse thee to thy face.” (Margin: “If he curse thee not.”) The clause susceptible of a variety of interpretations. The two particles at the commencement אִם לֹא (im lo) “if not,” variously rendered and understood. By most they are regarded as expressive of an oath; with the rest of the form of imprecation understood; as, “may I perish,” or such like; i.e., “if he will not curse thee,” &c. So VATABLUS, PISCATOR, HUFNAGEL, and ZOCKLER, who makes the expression... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Job 1:6-12

Job 1:6-12 I. The introduction of Satan into the scene before us illustrates the problem of the book of Job. This wonderful, and perhaps most human of all books, evidently discusses the problem of suffering, of evil in the world, especially in its relation to man; and Satan, as a malignant person, is seen to be the author of the evil which Job suffers. Satan appears here in the character in which he is constantly represented throughout the Bible; he is the accuser of the brethren; he is the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 1:1-22

Shall we turn now to the book of Job, chapter 1.As we come to the book of Job, we actually enter into a new section of the Old Testament. As you know, the Old Testament is divided into different divisions. The first five books comprising what is often called the Pentateuch, the books of the law. The next several books are historic as they deal with the history of the nation of Israel from the time that they have come out of Egypt and they begin as a nation in the land. And it covers that period... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 1:1-22

Job 1:1 . The land of Uz. Moses is always correct in calling countries after the name of the first possessor. Uz was in the east beyond Jordan, and south of mount Hermon. It fell to the lot of the half tribe of Manasseh, but was partly possessed by the children of Esau. Jeremiah says, “Rejoice, oh daughter of Edom, thou that dwellest in the land of Uz.” This has given rise to what is unproved, that Job is the Jobab of Esau’s race. In keeping to the text of Moses we are safe, that Job was... read more
