Job 2:10

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 2:1-13

Job 2:1 . There was a day when the sons of God &c. As on the former chapter, Job 2:6. Job 2:4 . Skin for skin. Septuagint, “skin after skin.” Men’s riches in the first periods of society very much consisted in cattle and skins; and the honest man would sooner give up his skins to the Arabian robbers than his life. But as the Hebrew language labours under many difficulties from the bearing of its prepositions, those who follow the LXX, “skin after skin,” make the sense to be, that... read more

Job 2:1-10And Satan came also among them. Spiritual agencies, good and evil, in sicknessThis is one of those mysterious chapters of Holy Scripture wherein God hath graciously vouchsafed, for the strengthening of our faith and loving trust in Him, a brief glimpse of that which is continually going on, day by day, in regions mysterious to mortal vision, and in which, could we but at all times feel it, we are so greatly concerned. Scripture is consistent in its testimony throughout--that there is... read more

Job 2:6-10Behold, he is in thine hand. Satan malevolently dealing with Job’s personalityI. Satan’s low estimate of human nature. His language here clearly implies that even a good man’s love of goodness is not supreme and invincible. He states--1. That goodness is not so dear to him as life. “Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.” Self-preservation is a strong instinct in human nature, and therefore a Divine principle; but it is not true that it is ever the... read more

In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Ver. 10. But he said unto her ] He did not start up, and lay upon her with his unmanly fist (Chrysostom saith it is the greatest reproach in the world for a man to beat his wife), but he reproveth her, and that sharply, as she deserved; and so did Jacob his best beloved Rachel, when the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 2:10

10. As one of the foolish women נבלות , perverse, corrupt, or godless women; having respect not so much to the want of intellectual as of moral qualities. The word is one of the strongest in Hebrew, and is used to express utter worthlessness. It is to be remarked that Job does not charge his wife with being such, but with talking like such women. There is no evidence that Job sympathized with those mean views of woman that the Orientals cherish even to the present day, and which the... read more
