Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 2:1-10
2. The second test 2:1-10Satan again claimed that Job served God only because God had made it advantageous for Job to do so. Job still had his own life. Satan insinuated that Job had been willing to part with his own children and his animals (wealth) since he still had his own life (skin, Job 2:4)."Satan implies that Job, by his doxology had only feigned love for God as the exorbitant but necessary fee for health insurance." [Note: Kline, p. 463.] Satan could do nothing to Job without God’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 2:1-13
The Prologue (continued)Job’s second trial. He refuses to renounce God when afflicted with an excruciating disease. Three friends come to comfort him.3. Although thou movedst, etc.] or, ’so that it was in vain thou movedst me against him to destroy him.’4, 5. Skin for skin, etc.] The precise meaning of the proverb is uncertain, but the general meaning seems to be that as long as a man does not suffer in his own person he will gladly bear the sacrifice of everything else (’skin for skin’). But... read more

V.THE DILEMMA OF FAITHJob 2:1-13As the drama proceeds to unfold the conflict between Divine grace in the human soul and those chaotic influences which hold the mind in doubt or drag it back into denial, Job becomes a type of the righteous sufferer, the servant of God in the hot furnace of affliction. All true poetry runs thus into the typical. The interest of the movement depends on the representative character of the life, passionate in jealousy, indignation, grief, or ambition, pressing on... 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
