约伯记 2:7 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 2:7-10

The devil, having got leave to tear and worry poor Job, presently fell to work with him, as a tormentor first and then as a tempter. His own children he tempts first, and draws them to sin, and afterwards torments, when thereby he has brought them to ruin; but this child of God he tormented with an affliction, and then tempted to make a bad use of his affliction. That which he aimed at was to make Job curse God; now here we are told what course he took both to move him to it and move it to... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 2:7

So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord ,.... With leave and license, with power and authority, as the Targum; having got his commission enlarged, on a fresh grant, to do more mischief to Job, he departed directly and immediately, being eager to put in execution what he had a permission to do; See Gill on Job 1:12 , and smote Job with sore boils, from the sole of his foot unto his crown : with hot and burning ulcers, such as were inflicted on the Egyptians in the plague of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 2:7

Sore boils - רע בשחין bischin ra , "with an evil inflammation." What this diabolical disorder was, interpreters are not agreed. Some think it was the leprosy, and this is the reason why he dwelt by himself, and had his habitation in an unclean place, without the city, (Septuagint, εξω της πωλεως ), or in the open air: and the reason why his friends beheld him afar off, Job 2:12 , was because they knew that the disorder was infectious. His scraping himself with a potsherd indicates... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:1-10

Renewed assaults and temptations of the adversary. The first scene in this drama of affliction has closed, and a fresh one opens, bringing, however, no happy change, no alleviation, but rather an aggravation of the hero's woe. A second time the adversary of mankind appears in the heavenly court to launch his malicious shafts of accusation against the servant of God. His purpose is now more intent, his aim more deadly, than ever. But we, as spectators, can see a bright light still steadily... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:1-10

The severer tests of faith. Job has triumphed in the severe ordeal. His possessions, his servants, his family, have been torn from him. In the bitterness of his sorrow he has "rent his mantle," and shown the signs of his humiliation by cutting off the hair of his head. But in the paroxysms of his grief he has "held fast his integrity;" he "sinned not, nor charged God foolishly." So far he has passed through the fire unscathed, and belied the false accusations of the adversary. But further... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:1-13

This chapter concludes the "Introductory section." It consists of three parts. Job 2:1-6 contain an account of Satan's second appearance in the courts of heaven, and of a second colloquy between him and the Almighty. Job 2:7-10 contain the sequel to this colloquy, viz. Satan's further affliction of Job, and his conduct under it. Verses 11-13 contain an account of the arrival of Job's three special friends to mourn with him and to comfort him; and of their behavior during the first... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:7

So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord (comp. Job 1:12 , ad fin. ) . Satan, we may be sure, is always anxious to quit the immediate presence of God; for "what communion hath light with darkness?" ( 2 Corinthians 6:14 ). But now he had a special motive for haste in his anxiety to put Job to the test. Doubtless he was confident that he would triumph. And smote Job with sore boils . "With a malignant inflammation" (Lee). It has been generally concluded, from the scattered... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 2:7-8

Job's leprosy. Satan has now obtained permission to go a step further, and lay his hand on the person of God's servant. He uses the new privilege with skilful ingenuity, selecting the most horrible and loathsome disease, and smiting Job with the worst form of leprosy—elephantiasis. I. THE MISERY OF THE INFLICTION . 1 . It touches the man himself. Hitherto the blows have fallen on his outer world, though, indeed, they have come very near to him in striking his children.... read more

The patriarch's second trial. I. THE TWOFOLD ASSAULT UPON THE PATRIARCH . 1 . The infliction of a loathsome disease. (a) by wearing out his strength, and so rendering him more accessible to the entrance of diabolic temptations; (b) by making him an object of abhorrence to mankind, and so in a manner cutting him off from human sympathy; and (c) by leading him to regard his malady as a special visitation from Heaven, and so tempting him to entertain harsh thoughts... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 2:7

So went Satan forth - Job 1:12.And smote Job with sore boils - The English word boil denotes the well-known turnout upon the flesh, accompanied with severe inflammation; a sore angry swelling. “Webster.” The Hebrew word, however, is in the singular number שׁחין shechı̂yn, and should have been so rendered in our translation. Dr. Good renders it “a burning ulceration.” The Vulgate translates it, “ulcere pessimo.” The Septuagint, ἕλκει πονηρῶ helkei ponērō - “with a foul ulcer.” The Hebrew... read more
