ヨブ記 1:9 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 1:6-12

Job was not only so rich and great, but withal so wise and good, and had such an interest both in heaven and earth, that one would think the mountain of his prosperity stood so strong that it could not be moved; but here we have a thick cloud gathering over his head, pregnant with a horrible tempest. We must never think ourselves secure from storms while we are in this lower region. Before we are told how his troubles surprised and seized him here in this visible world, we are here told how... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 1:9

Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, doth Job fear God for nought. Satan does not deny any part of Job's character, nor directly charge him with anyone sin; which shows what a holy man Job was, how exact in his life and conversation, that the devil could not allege any one thing against him; nor does he deny that he feared the Lord; nay, he owns it, only suggests there was a private reason for it; and this he dares not affirm, only puts it by way of question, giving an innuendo, which is... read more

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 1:9

Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Satan insinuates that Job's motive is purely selfish. He serves God, not for love of God, or for love of goodness, but for what he gets by it. Satan is too shrewd to endeavour, as Job's friends do later, to pick holes in Job's conduct. No; that is exemplary. But the true character of acts is determined by the motive. What is Job's motive? Does he not serve God to gain his protection and blessing? Similarly, in modem times,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:9

Doth Job fear God for nought? I. YES ! God ' s servants are not hypocrites . 1 . Those who serve God from mercenary motives do not truly serve him at all ( Isaiah 1:13 ). 2 . Those who serve God sincerely adhere to him when all creature-comforts are withdrawn ( Habakkuk 3:17 ). II. No I God's servants do not go unrewarded. Like Job, they are honoured with: 1. Divine attention ( Psalms 33:18 ). 2 . Divine approbation ( Psalms 147:11 ). 3. Divine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 1:9

Disinterested piety. Satan's suggestion is obvious enough. Job is religious; but Job is prosperous. Cast down his prosperity, and his religion will come down too like a house of cards. I. TRUE RELIGION BRINGS GREAT REWARDS . AS a matter of fact, Job was making the best of both worlds. While he was fearing and serving God, God was blessing and smiling upon him. 1 . Religion often brings earthly prosperity. It is frequently true that "honesty is the best policy." God... read more
